Take a good look at the plane on takeoff and the shadow. The rest of the photo is perfectly clear. The takeoff plane and shadow are very distorted. They are not the same photo. It looks like frames from an actual takeoff video have been overlayed onto the airfield photo.

The radome is slowly rotating clockwise exactly like an actual one does at the slow rotation that is often used when not radiating during takeoff. The shadows also look correct for a video.

This Google photo has been carefully altered by adding the video frames.

It's also interesting to look at the aircraft on the ramp to the east of the runway. They are in various states of disassembly with large parts laying around.
