No freakin' way!

Not gonna be a D-Bag and call "photoshop" on that one, but I will go as far as to say I have my doubts.

If it is, in fact real, then holy smokes!!

Photoshop is a great program but it's a shame that it makes just about every photo suspect anymore though.

Its photoshop.

The angle of shadow does not agree with the shadow from the #2 sign on the field.

It is a real photo...it is an RAAF F111c A8-143 that did an arrested landing at Amberley 18-7-2006, crewed by Komar and Warner.
A wheel fell off on take-off, the pilot had just converted to the F111 the previous week, a very nice bit of flying if you care to google it.

My bad, then. The shadows just didn't look right.

GrauGeist · Jan 20, 2014

Yeah, well...if that crate had another coat of paint on it, it would have been scaping the ground...that is freakin' low!

Great shot though...

Clipping houses.

Looks like the first two shots are of the same building Chris. Found this on FB.

Njaco · Jan 29, 2014

Yes, it is. Its a house that sits in the flightpath of the airfield at Fornebu in Norway. The Bf 110 that is crashed against the fence is Helmut Lent's Bf 110 that he crash on the first day of the invasion.

Aaron Brooks Wolters · Jan 29, 2014

Interesting. I don't know who Helmut Lent is but I soon will.

Njaco · Jan 29, 2014

Just one of the experts with the Bf 110....

That's from "Icepilots", a series on History about the day to day workings of Buffalo Airways in Canada's north. Great show if you can catch it.
