Boeing 747-400 (F-HSEX)

Wow! Spectacular Shot Mark! 10* Stars!

Where is the shadow of the aircraft? Why do people have their cameras directed in a somewhat different direction than towards the aircraft?

Nice. My favorite planes.

Obviously photoshopped. They close traffic when a plane is landing and people on the beach are looking at the landing plane, not at the ocean. However, it is a great place for watching landings.

Jeff:
Does this guy have a point? Do not see the aircraft shadow.

I told my wife we are going there to vacation just so I can go to this beach. She thinks it’s weird being married to an aviation geek.

I see a shadow on the fence and at least three cameras pointed at the aircraft.

Its a legit photo, just not current. Plane was put into service in 2006 and parked in 2011. Found a link to a photo of it turning around prior to departure in 2008:

Been there, done that, did not get a tee-shirt. For the skeptics, this looks totally authentic. Why go to the bother of Photoshop when there are probably hundreds of photographs in existence just like this one. Don't be so quick to judge.

@Ulf_Sandberg It's an artifact created by the depth of field from the lens the photographer used. Not photoshopped or AI.

FAKE
