To me, there is an obvious rectangular area around it where the variation of colors in the background change. Looks an awful lot like the edges of a "cut and paste".
I know some people are sure these are not fakes.... Let's just say they have been, "Manipulated".


jpeg distortion.  Happens when there is a sudden color shift; one problem with the standard.

I'm sorry Chairboy I did'nt realize you wanted to keep this going :)

Let's take a look at that original picture again....

I'm still puzzled by the shadows. Take a look at the white car in the foreground. I can't even make out the shape of the tire because the shadows are so harsh. Yet all of the details of the flaps and other items are clearly visable under the wings of the aircraft.  Why are'nt those items obscured by shadows? I considered they could be lit by reflected light from the water and sand. But then I don't understand why the farthest engine is so much darker and appears to be in the shadow of the fuselage. I'm also interested in the area of the the bottom of the fuselage that is directly under and infront of the inboard flaps. Where is this light area comming from? It does'nt seem to be a landing gear door.
All I'm saying is I don't take this photo at face value.

As for the country I'm flying for. It's knights right now. But it does'nt really matter. They all have their share of good people.

The farthest engine appears to be in the shadow of the wing based on the angle of the shadows on the ground and the sweep of the wings.

Also, the flaps are more visible than under the car because the plane is a light color and you are looking up at it from a lower angle. The car is being viewed from slightly above and the color of the tire matches that color of the shadow, ground and the grill.

The plane's main shadow will fall off to the right side of the picture, just beyond the edge of the picture.

If you like the pic of the plane in the rear view mirror, you will LOVE this move.:)
405themovie.com I don't save much off of the internet, but this is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. If you have a fast connection, I think it is worth a look.
