Ghost2520 Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 My dad got these pictures in an email... and was wondering if they were real or not because neither of us have ever seen it. Is it a photoshop job, real, or was it made for a movie? I'll post more pictures later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciddono Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 photoshop, i don't believe a plane like that could land on/ take off of an aircraft carrier Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrusk Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 photoshop, i don't believe a plane like that could land on/ take off of an aircraft carrier Ummmm, why not? Do you know what kind of a plane that is? Cause if you dont even know then how could you make an assumption of whether it could take off on an aircraft carrier?

virus Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 I wouldent doubt that it is real, so far it doesnt look like any photoshopping has been done. Looks wicked cool though whatever it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theodore Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 I have no idea if thats a real plane, or if thats a real picture. One thing to note would be the shadow of the plane. It doesn't look natural, especially compared to the shadows of the people. But i could easily be wrong. Also the video camera. Could just be for a movie.

FollowerCTO Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 it doesn't even look symetrical, just my two cents though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sykocus Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 I'm going to say fake. the Navy has tested 2 new stealth aircarft to replace the harrier, but neither look much like that picture X-32 x-35 I think the x-35 is the one they selected. i know thats the one the AF said they want. edit* nvm the right rudder/elevator is there...its just a the same angle is our perspective is looking down on it.

sVperbeast2k5 Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 I'm thinkin movie prop.. I'm guessing this because of: 1) the lack of Navy markings 2) the guy to the right with the movie camera... 3) the flight deck personnel without their cranials/headgear (jets = loud) Cool pic, though! Close... but not carrier based! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close... but not carrier based! its not the YF-23 notice the way the nose points down? and the two "humps" on back. neither of which are on the YF-23 also notice how the 2 engine exhast apear to be one unit. the YF-23 has 2 very distinctly seperate exhaust. nice spot on the movie camera though, i didn't see it.

bigears Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 could just be someone recording a test flight. but the point about the head gear is a good one, unless they appeared after it landed and was being put away or will disappear when it takes off.
