I know you will not be able to see this online, but you can see the landing gear and the prop of the little speck airplane directly above the middle of the Pier, and above the mountains. And, you can easily count the people on Blacks Beach, just below the cliffs.

This is the airplane that looks like a tiny piece of dirt in any onscreen image.
