Photoshop hilarity

If you’re a fan of Reddit’s Photoshop Battles subreddit, you know how creative people can be. We aviation enthusiasts have our fair share of creative types as well, and their editing of images to absurd lengths often inspires hilarious comments across Facebook groups. Those comments generally come from three types of enthusiast:

• The Comedian, the guy who immediately gets the joke and adds his comedic input.

• The Greenhorn, the newcomer to aviation who doesn't quite know what to make of the improbable image he's seeing and isn’t too embarrassed to ask if it’s real.

• Captain Obvious, the guy who knows the image is fake and is quick to tell everyone. He’s the party pooper who can’t laugh at some innocent tomfoolery, or he’s simply a schmuck who needs to show off his impressive knowledge of aviation.

Here are my favorite Photoshopped photos with a few comments from the latter two groups, spelling and grammatical errors intact, just for the additional laughs.

"Sorry for being a spoil-sport, but, the sole reason why the SR-71 was painted black was for radiative heat cooling. Black radiates heat quicker than white does.”

“How?”
"How did the wing get past the island”
“Is it possible?"

“B52 is not supper sonic.”
"Is this even possible, that a BUFF could break the sound barrier?"
“Photoshopped for sure."

“It's not real...it's photoshopped. even in a steep dive a powered hang glider would never be able to keep up with a C-130 at it's slowest possible flight speed.”
"Obvious photoshop..... Scale is wrong."

“Real or not…it could be real!!!!”
“That is a bad ass selfie!”

“Photoshop”
"Was this a true aircraft or just photo shop?”

“Fake as FU--"
"This pic is so fake. That thing would never fly."

"Totally fake, would never even taxi with those unsyncro'd props crashing into each other!”

“No, it’s fake.”
"that is really bad photoshopping."
“Looks bogus.”
“fake”
