If that picture is real then they are about to die. Check out the position the elevator is in.

The non-Russian planes have on-board computers, so they just re-programmed them to prevent the planes from dropping below, ehhh, 5ft.

At least that's what they want you to believe.

I know, however, that they are using The Force.

The top one is the plane just taking off and them elevators are up ie to climb.

What are you trying to say? Borts image is just taken with higher shutter speed, that's why there's no motion blur (or the camera was standing on a tripod and not moving). Do you still think the first image is fake?

If the lighting conditions are ideal then with high shutter speed it would be possible.
In this image the lighting conditions are looking not so much ideal because of the soft shadows below the plane, this means that the light goes first trough clouds so it's been reduced a lot.

It also depends on what type of film you're using.

LOl there are so many factors to take notice on and beliefe it's rather fake or real.
Well i just accept the fact that the site doesn't allow fake stuff, so my opinion is that's it's a non post-edited photograph.

All planespotters that I know, use digital cameras.

Kapitan · 04-05-06, 01:35 AM

Not only that they have huge lenses and incredibly fast shutter speeds with millions of pixles.

I suggest you go to Farnbough airshow you will see the F/A18 do exactly that monover the blue angel is doing on take off.

At least the last 4 years it has.

Jeez - their landing gear must come up quick.

Kapitan · 04-05-06, 04:18 AM

They do as soon as wheels are off the gear comes up so the plane can accelarate off without doing what normal airlines do (wait for 500 feet gear up then accelarate).

that blue angles picture looks as if the plane is 3/4 of the way down the runway already, so the gear more than likely had been up for only a short time before this pilot pulls up.

Have a look at Oberons mirage viedo youll see what im on about.

These pilots are insane ! !

You'd think that water vapor would flameout the engines. Suppose thats what ejection seats are for

Not really. The reaction time would be a bit too long at that altitude. But water getting into the engine wouldn't be a problem, because the wake where water is kicked up is behind the jet.
