Leaving on a jet plane,...

  1. Had to look up the lyrics to this song. What a wonderful song. This was from the days that young men were being shipped off to die in viet nam.

    1. Last pic before the drone is sucked into the port engine. Heh.

      Actually, I think its a Photoshop. I'd expect gear up this far along take-off, and the shadow from the sun on nosewheel doesn't jive with what's visible on the ground (underpass shadow). Exhaust heat distortion of runway image looks odd as well.

    2. I agree: Photoshop. And I say that not as an expert in photography or Photoshop, but as a retired airline pilot.

      For a normal takeoff, this plane is faaaar too high to have it's landing gear down. Additionally, exactly what is this camera suspended from? By that I mean, have you convinced a pilot (not to mention the FAA) that whatever rigging you've got putting that camera in that position is stable and won't fall off to then get sucked into the #1 engine? And finally, I think I'm seeing flat spots under the tires. That doesn't happen airborne.

  4. The light angles on the ground and the plane do not match........ it looks like cheap home made Disney crap.
