I thought I would add a few pictures I had on my computer, some are pictures sent to me by a friend of pearl harbor during attack.

B-52 Photo is fake, it is Photoshopped.

Actually, the B-52 "picture" is a painting by Dru Blair called "Mountain Fortress". I have one of his prints, "Power" that is of a B-1B flying feet off the surface of a mountain lake with a massive pair of rooster tails behind it.

I knew something was just off.

Whoops, forgot the link -

He's a fantastic painter who fools a lot of people into thinking he's Photoshopping images when in fact he's painting them. It's photorealistic in the extreme. We always claim in the Flightsim world to have "photorealistic" textures or panels, if we could get the quality of Dru's painting, it would be photorealistic and people wouldn't be able to tell the difference between an FS screenshot and the real thing. Right now, it can only be achieved with heavy post-screenshot editing, although some guys are well able to make people think they're looking at a 3D rendered scene done on a multi-hundred thousand dollar graphics setup at a major CGI animation studio.

THANKS FOR THE LINK. I HAVE SEEN THE ONE WITH A TOMCAT ON SURFACE. BUT WITH A SKIER PATCHED IN BEHIND HIM.
