Stop all this mumbo jumbo about videos as irrefutable proofs!

This is reality!

This is where the guy got the picture to plan his mastermind trick!

Yeah sure, they're looking at it, but it's obviously not a plane!

I say real and here are my reasons:

1) Look at the wing, notice how there is a reflection of the landing gear? Now look closer and see how there are 2 colors being reflected, one tannish and one bluish? That looks a lot like the water and sand border point Also see that little flap on the wing which folds down? look at the one on the far side and you can get a reflection of the sky.

2) When you zoom in heavily the pixilation occurs evenly on both plane and buildings/sky/etc.... if it was chopped into the picture the plane would most likly pixilate either worse or less than the surroundings. You can tell jpeg restoration programs probably wernt used as they generally blur the crisper lines slightly treating them like artifacts. Look around the N6 on the engine and you can see it is very sharp contrast black/white, that would have been destroyed if jpeg restoration plugins where used enough to make the plane as 'clean' as the surroundings. (at least in my experience it does)

3) People are looking, like every one. Check the woman close to the camera on the left. Her body is facing the water but her head is turned toward the plane. In between the two guys with white shites there is a guy kneeling down looking upward and to the left between the woman with the blue clothing and the guy in the white shirt (distant) there is a guy lying on his back but raised up slightly and you can just barly see his head which is elevated reletivly toward the plane. In fact i dont think there is any one NOT looking.

4) The shadowing is 100% consistant. If you look at the shadow the trees make on the "Royal Islander Club" wall then compare it to the angel of the shadows upon the plane and cast by the plane on the ground (its hard to see kinda but look for the guy who is lying down i mentioned above, it starts just past him where it turns dark).

5) If this guy takes pictures like this for a living and such.... it seems unrealistic he would go through the trouble to put all these subtle details into all of his pictures.... So if this guy really is chopping all his pics like this, he REALLLLLY needs to get a life outside of beach pics to chop planes into.


Regardless..... that pilot is frikkin NUTS!!!!! lol

That beach is well known for their air strip.
there are signs there when you enter, that you might be surprised by aircrafts when tanning.

only on a goddamn photoshopping website can something like this be sooo drawn out. it doesnt cast a shadow, the people arent looking at it, blah blah blah. ACCEPT THE FACT THAT CRAZY SHIT DOES HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE. not every pic you see is a chop.

the pic is real. the pilot, probably drunk. the people, freaked out, and probably drunk. but the pic is REAL.

are we all looking at the same picture wno cant see that shadow??? every body on the beach is looking at the plane, a guy in the distance is taking a photo of it, the guy nearest this camara just filled his pants.
P.S. i have not altered the pic, i thought you might be looking at another photo

On a similar but unrelated topic, what do you guys think of this shot of an RC model airplane?

Real or bogus?

HAR Ed, I know the answer to that one, but I'm not tellin.

Ed, I'd have to say it's bogus.

First of all, there is no shadow. Secondly, how is it controlled without an antenna? Thirdly, there is no one in the picture that is looking at it. And finally, that would have to be one huge rc airplane to fit a person in it!!

; )

Perfect Splodge, now it's "PSC-REAL". ...No squirrel?

lol Splodge : )

On the second photo, I think it's a chop, or at least partially edited, it looks too smooth to be a photo.

About the first picture:
Many people assume it's fake because it's so spectacular. But I think there is not a single indication that this is a chop.

Regarding the model airplane picture:
I'm not sure but I think it's a chop. It seems too clean for this kind of action shot. I would expect the prop to be more defined instead of a fuzzy blur. I would expect to see the reflection of the sky in the side of the fuselage. The starboard aileron control thingy seems to be missing. The reflection in the underside seems too bright and inconsistent with the background.
........But I may be wrong.

Now, what about this one...
