The end result is that every single picture on that web site is jawdroppingly awesome.

Yes,I think its quite difficult to get an image on there,my son tried 3 or 4 times,but failed every time.We soon figured H's above comments.
They did send my son,A very long lists of reasons and suggestions of why the image failed and how to go about improving images etc.I did not have a good read of the reply.But I saw enough to know that a real person with pro level approach critiqued the images.This is not all bad,because if someone who really wanted to do well (and had LOTS of time,may be a retired person,and had a 600 mm L) might be able to get their images up on that forum.
I do'nt think even 'moon/plane' would meet their high standards,which I say with no disrespect for 'airliners',all the images are as H says-'jaw dropping impressive' and its great to have a quick look there from time to time,but I think if the average amateur photographer got an image on 'airliners',it possibly would be even a higher gong than apod.
I do'nt even try,I am just happy to own this lovely 400L lens take a few passing images of an aircraft from time to time,and be able to read the livery and rego numbers-is enough to make me happy.
