This one has been doing the rounds.

Lots of people calling it a fake as the people are looking in Different directions.
Cheers

This must be faked as well. I suspect those crying "fake" have never taken an aviation photo in their lives.

The only person looking a different way is the one taking a selfie with the aircraft in the background!

Not a fake, but it is still a deception, of sorts. The extreme forshortening effect of a long lens plus very heavy cropping makes the jet look frighteningly close to the spectators on the bridge. Actually, it's probably half a mile beyond them. This also explains why they hardly move their heads to watch it pass.
Also, the jet made at least 2 such passes, as the guy in the yellow vest at the top of the steps has disappeared in the later images.
And as the smart ship grew,
In stature, grace and hue,
In shadowy silent distance grew the iceberg too....

So who actually took the pictures? On one post the copyright is in the name of David Kapernick and on the other its in the name of Nini Lo Guidice.

I'm not sure if you'd class this as 'interesting internet', or hilariously ridiculous internet :laughing:

I think the most important question no one is asking is why can't we have something similar in the UK😂

Vulcan XM655 had a bit of an overshoot today. Glad no one was hurt.

Not sure I’ve seen these special Saudis before. Thought they were all painted black/green (and indeed the black F-15C was at Tanagra over the weekend).
