oh yeah, it definitely is. look at the sun's position in the bottom part of the photo. Should be over the photographer's left shoulder and either directly overhead or behind him casting light directly on the scene. The planes are backlight from the right and above.
I don't know man. I tried to see if this was a fake or real photo online but couldn't find anything. Although a lot of sites did use this photo to showcase the flyover from LAX.
But if you look at the truck on the bottom of the picture, it matches the shadows and lighting of the planes. What you said was backlit, but look at the red pickup truck's passenger side to us and it's completely in shadow too. I think the sun was near or around the high noon position. When you see the sun's reflection from the windshieds of the cars, they don't give an accurate position since windshields are curved. Look at the black ASAP Tire truck as well. The back doors are in shadow while its driver side is in direct sunlight. Also if you look at the traffic lights and where they hang, the lighting matches with the shuttle and its planes.
If you say that the sun is over our left shoulder, and over him, then yes the whole scene would've been lit. I think the actual sun is above and just past the shuttle.
