That's a really good example:) The real key to the effect is to be a great distance from the objects you're photographing so that the distance between the two objects, in this case the two airliners, is relatively small when compared with the distance to the photographer. The distance between the photographer and either of the two aircraft then becomes, in effect, the same with the result that both a/c seem to be in the same place. This effect can be achieved with any lens but the image then needs to be heavily cropped and enlarged, reducing the quality. That's really where the long lens comes into play: it allows the target(s) to fill the frame without the need to crop and enlarge so much.
