As you point out, the aircraft will be much higher than that. It's difficult to judge the height of an aircraft from a satellite image, since the enormous height of the camera above the subject virtually removes perspective. In other words, if there were another KC-135 on the ground immediately below the flying aircraft, it would appear to be the same size, so we couldn't use that as a basis for estimating height.
