Is this image photoshoped?

lights

Why do some of the aircraft have there lights on and some do not? Could be that they all do but the photo just makes it look like some don't. Or maybe it's just pilots not following procedure? Jason Quinn (talk) 18:58, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps the lights are flashing and not synchronized between the aircraft. --99.199.42.152 (talk) 02:47, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

this picture is obviously a photoshop job. check the mountains, the weather conditions are quite hazy. no haze on the planes in the distance (and thats just the smoking gun, not to mention they all have been shot from the same angle, same light, etc. ok, that could be a coincidence, but the haze is DEFINITELY NOT) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.63.168.106 (talk) 00:17, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well of course they would all be shot in the same light, they're all in the same scene. And if you look at the full size, you'll see that the aircraft are all at slightly different angles.. As for the haze, those mountains are tens of miles in the distance, while the rear planes are not. Plus haze is really only a factor at lower altitudes, these planes are high enough that its not an issue. Its real. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.213.66.59 (talk) 02:47, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's called Mie Scattering. There's always Mie Scattering. Mie Scattering is a function of distance, not elevation. Not on those airplanes. photoshop job. crappy one too. 87.162.54.60 (talk) 13:05, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously not a photoshop, fools. 92.14.194.19 (talk) 21:13, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
