Photoshop? Optical illusion? Insanity?

[Godzuki]

You'd think there would be some dust disruption underneath it...

[55allgold]

It's entirely in focus, too, which makes me a bit suspicious.

[louiebaby]

The "pilot" looks like a bald child. Can he even see over the edge of the cockpit?

I call 'shop. If I'm wrong, that'll make me happier though...

Google the registration, a few more turn up:

If 'shopped, someone has put in a fair amount of effort.

Could be he had a gear problem and he decided to stick it onto the grass, and there were a few cameras in the vicinity.

Or he's got a radalt calibrated in centimetres, and he's barking mad.

Or he's just barking mad.

There is a saying about old pilots and bold pilots.

Actually he falls into another category altogether. Idiots.

Well, there you have it. Mad as a box of very mad frogs.

If that's photoshop it's some job. No signs of it at all on zooming in and vegetation through the canopy looks perfect. Something doesn't ring quite true about it though...

Didn't something similar happen with a C130 a few years ago?

Do you think he could feel the ground effect (like how an ekranoplan 'flies' on the ground effect), hence able to fly safely that low?

Not heard that one although a google search throws this one up.

Ground effect, certainly.

Safely...well, that's a different matter.

He hasn't really got any options at that point if he has a problem.
