Fake. Everything in the background is static and in reasonable focus.

Silly, there is a video recording of this

more on this jet http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... 2989831056

Fake. The plane is standing still on the ground, they just digitally removed the landing gear. Also it's clear that engines are not running and the plane is exactly in the same position (the same angle and distance from the ground) as standing planes on other photos.

I didn

I understand the scepticism, I was sceptic at first too. But then again why not? I have also seen some pretty amazing stuff with MiGs at airshows before

Besides, for a landed aircraft it it a little too horizontal, look at a landed MiG and you can see clearly that the engines point in a downwards direction:

The problem is that the ground disrupts the airflow over the wings.

are you saying that it is impossible for a plane to fly low over land without crashing?

No, I'm saying the plane's reactions are much less predictable this close to the ground. I don't doubt it's possible, but I doubt the photo is authentic because there is no evidence of motion paralax. (ie everything is in good focus)

He was flying at a very slow speed...I dont see what's impossible about taking a clear shot like that with the latest digital equipment. The background appears less focused then the plane and the shadow is there so I cant see anything fake about this. That site doesnt host fake photos btw...

Slow speeds would make it even more dangerous.

That one passes all the tests for me to confirm it as real.

"ground effect"...but still possible...I

BTW, it`s a nice site.

P.S. Here is my small collection of aircraft photos...where is almost none of them with engine exhaust.

ST,

Hehehe

"Ya love bustin

Heh, i don`t pretending to be an aircraft expert, or something. I just said, what at some of my photos (which is not digital art, of course) i don`t have seen such exhaust too

Understood...I was not in a good mood yesterday...sorry if I sounded harsh with you. I thought you were coming down on me.

I haven't played any flight games for a long time. I used to play MS Flight Sim a looooot but then I went away to school.
