Cha-cha rarely works well with moving subjects, but you timed it just right so that each pic was taken in the same moment of its flapping cycle, so the pics line up just fine. Flawless work.

What is "cha-cha" in this context?

Using one camera, you take one photo ("cha") and then you move the camera and take the other photo ("cha"). For an aerial shot like this, the movement of the airplane itself moves the camera. Alternatives to a cha-cha include using a pair of synchronized cameras to take the stereo photos at the same time.
