Welcome aboard Beth. Was this photo in one of the bombing threads? I know one of our pilots favors an old Fokker.

Oh, you're all talking about a plane. I'd love to see the photo. If you can't post it, link might do. Welcome.

Welcome to BoB. 
just wanted to say thanks and to let you know i found out about the photo
i dont know how to post a picture here but i will put the link here so you can see for yourself..
it was hard to find out the truth
the photo is a fake and its of the antonov 12.. not the antonov 10
sovetarmy.2x2forum.com/t268-topic#422
the fake one was the 6th photo from the bottom of the page where the antonov 12 is on a snowy runway.. the fake had no landing gear showing and claiming it was a low pass..
take care all..

Ooops. Our posts passed like ships in the night DW. Maybe this is the one? Good find if it is.
Looks like a legit photo to me, but then I don't know anything about photo shop or how to tell if a photo has been altered. Though I would think there would be some snow kicked up in its wake.

What? People just wander in off the internet and ask about an old Russian airliner on a pipe forum? I'm cool with it. 8)

Probably figure we are a bunch of intellectuals, sitting around smoking pipes, imbibing a good single barrel, and contemplating our next novel. I suppose 2 out of 4 ain't bad.
Too bad Yak wasn't still around. He would have explained exactly what was going on with that pic, and all the details of the entire conspiracy. :face:

Hey Beth,
Here's my take on the pic provided by DW above...
The plane's shadows are consistent with the post's in the foreground. There is, albeit small and hard to see, a degree of snow kicked up by the prop wash behind the aircraft. The pilot is probably very experienced to attempt such a stunt. The weather looks very settled; cloudless skies indicative of a high pressure giving little or no wind - exactly what you'd need for such an attempt. The pilot has probably weighed up the implications of touching down with the belly of the aircraft; being snow and potentially soft, little drag would be created, lowering the chances of an all out crash. My verdict: genuine picture.
But then there are some really clever types with photo editing software... :suspect:

Fyi, Rob just made me laugh out loud.

So, are you a pipe smoker? Your intro and 2 other posts to this topic reveal nothing about this, and this is after all, a site devoted to pipe enthusiasts.
It's reasonable to expect that one would say a bit about their pipe journey without first launching into a quest for photos of an airplane. I'm a rather suspicious sort, and your post raised some flags for me.
I'll stop short of accusing you of trolling, but would like instead to see you come forth with a more informative introduction. My experience as a moderator on another site has made me wary you see. Nothing personal.
Cheers,
RR
