It's because the plane is angled up, not down. Which means it's climbing. That only happens if the plane is taking off, or going around after a missed landing. Considering the very clear weather, a go-around is unlikely, and taking a picture after a go-around is also unlikely. So, it's likely landing. It's also turning towards the mountains, which only makes sense if the plane is taking off. There likely aren't any runways in those mountains, so a landing isn't likely. It's more likely to be taking off, pointing towards the mountains.

I think the most important takeaway here isn't that Rainbolt knows every place on earth. He had no idea where exactly the scenery outside of the place was. No, the most important thing is that a lot of people most way too much info about themselves online to make this possible. If this was the only image Rainbolt had access to and it wasn't posted on the day of the flight then I don't think he would've found it. But all the context clues about the user that posted it make it possible. If I posted a random image of a street in a town I cycled through to school every day he probably wouldn't be able to find it, but if I then also posted where I live and where I went to school then it's suddenly quite easy.

It would still be extremely easy to find the exact flight with just that image (and the knowledge that it was tweeted live), it's an aerial view spanning miles with multiple defining landmarks which is arguably better info than the streetview in GeoGuessr. It would just take longer since he couldn't immediately confirm it's Mexico at that exact airport, he'd need to manually look over the map where he thinks it is to find it.

It's funny that I learned this lesson over a decade and a half ago. I was on a private forum where someone posted a vacation photo, and the person found the exact place they took the photo from. Granted, it was in a major city with multiple landmarks, but the only information was a single picture. That day taught me to never post information that could identify me online. It's surreal that there are people alive today that grew up with the internet and never learned how quickly and easily someone can find their location using just a small bit of information.

This reminds me of a girl I was briefly chatting with a few years ago. We were just online friends and never shared our addresses. One day she sent me a photo out of her new apartement after she moved. So I've invested like 20 Minutes (I'm not as good as rainbolt lol) and then simply asked her if she "moved into City X, Specific Street Y, in the apartement Z". And she was soooo shocked. Explained to her that the photo had enough information to get this information. Anyway... That was the moment I realized I might give stalker vibes due to this kind of hobby. We didn't talk much after that. But to be fair that's mainly due to me not buying her crap in an online game xD.
