I think we could, if we took the picture in the right location,
like parking the trucks in a couple of rows on the airstrip, and
taking the picture from the bank of the pond, or up near the shop,
somewhere with some elevation. Or, they could be parked in a couple
of rows in the main parking area, facing downhill, with the picture
taken from further down the hill. I think with some elevation or
a slope, it can be done by using more than one row of trucks.

Yep, and I think we could do something like that with all of
the trucks. (Actually, that location might be a great place to
try it...) For example:

That was very quickly hacked together and I'm not even sure I got the
scale right, but I think it demonstrates basically what I am talking
about. That's 12 trucks in the space, and we could obviously cram
even more in there - I think its doable!
