Nah...those are real airplanes , guys. The 109's are actually Spanish HA1112 Buchons, the Spanish, license-built version of the BF109. You, know, the ones you saw in the movie, Battle Of Britain. You can tell if look very closely at the nose of the "109" in front. Notice that the exhaust stacks are mounted high up on the nose. Not low like the inverted Daimler Benzes on the German built airplanes. Another close look will show that those Spitfires are Mark 9's, not the BoB Mark 1. This was probably done for some tv show.
"From our orbital vantage point, we observe an earth without borders, full of peace, beauty and magnificence, and we pray that humanity as a whole can imagine a borderless world as we see it, and strive to live as one in peace."
