Default Plane crashes into tree

The plane in a tree pic is 100% real.

I took it.

Photoshopped as well, of course.

I wouldn't think so.


I'm pretty sure it was not photoshopped. Here's why:

1. The anti-aliasing on diagonal edges, especially where part of the
aircraft and part of the building form an acute triangle, is consistent.
The pixel areas are the same, and the color blends are uniform.
2. I fiddled with the contrast to look deep into the shadows where
the aircraft and the roof merge and there is a strand of wire or rope that
loops around the left main gear, around the leading edge, back across the
flap at the wing root and crosses under the fuselage. Entirely too much
detail for a photoshopper to do, and the anti-aliasing is again, too
consistent for the aircraft to have been plugged in as an overlay.

I'll bet dinner for two in any restaurant of your choice within ten
miles of L72 that this photo is valid. [Transportation not included.]

I've no doubt, Ron and I apologize if it sounded like I was implying
that yours was photoshopped. I just wanted to make sure that my bet was
directed to the one on the roof. I did, however, look at yours with the same
scrutiny but you certainly don't need any confirmation from me about its
authenticity.

Peace??

I noticed about the only part not severely damaged was the oil access
cover. Since the plane in the tree is the same model as mine, I was
sorely tempted to drive down (about 30 min) and ask about salvaging it.

I looked for it a few minutes yesterday and could not find it. It was
removed from the tree on Friday.

I could use a longer oil filler tube! Thanks for the suggestion.

No problem. Another guy did photoshop this to make the "Learn to Fly
Here" sign more prominent. I will accept the limitations of what
conditions existed.
