There are really only two possibilities,

1) This Image has been edited by Photoshop type software. My reason for suspecting this is because there is really no possibility the two planes could be that close and not be effected. Either the back would have a spin out because of the 'Jet Wash' or the front would have severe turbulance because the back plane was 'Drafting her' secondoly these were passenger jets so I'm sure any passengers would have reported it. Also, notice the left wing of the smaller craft there is an irregular blur not constant with the film grain. It looks to me like Smudge and Push from PSP.

2) In the case the FAA has covered up the event do to a large blunder on their part the photo had to be taken at a 75-Degree angle. The smaller jet is closer but is of a smaller jet so it appears like it is further away. The larger one is massive but is higher then the smaller one.

the effect could be the smaller plane is at 15,00 feet and the larger one at 30,000 feet if at a 75-Degree angle with the ship at the bottom steering to a bearing 175 to the JL plane, a path that go under the JL then it would appear they were closer to each other but in reality were Thousands of feet away.
