Good find
Just for fun I measure its length @ 400ft. Should measure 130 to 138 ft. This is obvioulsy an aerial photograph and not a satellite image. The plane is 18 miles from Burbank and greater than 25 miles from LAX so we can assume its at least 3,000ft if not higher.

From this we can calculate that for 3,000 ft the camera is 4,500ft:
for 4,000 ft camera is 6,000 ft
for 5,000 ft camera is 7,500 ft
for 6,000 ft camera is 9,000 ft
