The moon is huge because it was shot with a very long telephoto lens. I didn't shoot it, but I would bet the photographer knows there is a flight path there and was waiting for the jet to fly by.

There are several places in Los Angeles where we can get similar shots. There are also several apps that help in planning shots like this.

Shots like this take some skill and planning.
