The fin of a 747 is 60 foot high. The screen height of an airplane is sometimes 50 feet, sometimes 35, sometimes as little as 15.

You don’t pay parking by the height of an aircraft. More typical is payment by weight.

Landing and parking costs mount up over time. It could well be that an aircraft runs up significant debts well before it is seized by someone – it is not something done lightly. The debt is important since in some commercial arrangements, the debt has to be written off if the aircraft ceases to exist – meaning someone, somewhere has to take a hit on their balance sheet.
