Random question- where exactly is that beach with the runway right next to it. Me and my boyfriend saw it on a show and were like, what genius planned that? ha ha

Some of them have been "altered" or taken from an angle to provide an illusion. There is little chance that a 747 could pass 50 feet over someones head dirtied up and they would still stand or have hearing left.

The Mig that appears to be 6 feet off the ground is suspect too.

The British airways surrounded by birds is also an illusion. Those GE engines might take "a" bird ingestion but not as many as it would appear it would in that photo without causing a smoking hole and a debris field.

There's lots of ways to make objects in the foreground appear much closer to the background than they actually are. Adjusting f-stop? I can't seem to recall enough from my photo 101 class. Of course, I'm talking about the ancient methods with film, I'm sure there's 10 more ways to do it with a digital camera.

Slide 51 is my favorite. I've had the opportunity to play with an H46 simulator, and I'm pretty sure we did that maneuver multiple times. It just wasn't intentional, and we didn't recover straight and level. :dead:

I'm thinking the beach shots might be real.. there are signs all over the beach.. Can't read them except theone that says DANGER!!

I'm pretty sure it says do not stand, sit walk etc.. between these signs. And you know the mental midgets are just going to ignore the signs for the fun ot it.
