Either it has been photoshopped OR it is just the angle of the camera.

Actually it is an airshow:

The most spectacular display was that of the two SAA Cargo Boeing 737s in formation. The B737-200 (ZS-SIF) was flown by Scully Levin and his daughter Sally Bates, while the B737-300 (ZS-SBB) was flown by Pierre Gouws and Colin Gibson. In fact, the B737-300 was on display at AFB Ysterplaat for the week and took-off on the Saturday morning. Tight formation flying and an amazing fighter-style break was a first for air show goers. Absolutely magnificent!

Part of it is the angle of the camera. One plane is kind of on its side while the other one is straight. Kind of like in the movies and all where you think someone is getting punched or almost run over by a train...just depends on the camera angle.

Also, the 737-300 is somewhat longer than the 737-200. This difference in size plays with the perspective, making them appear closer together than they actually are.
