Explanations

American Airlines pasted in – Planes fly in low at Maho Beach, Sint Maarten, Netherlands.

Delusions of grandeur – Shadow cast by different plane.

Sibling rivalry – Photo was taken by a telephoto lense which makes the two planes seem closer together.

Santa splat – Obviously, Santa isn’t real.

Gotcha – Fingers are holding up a small toy airplane.

Danger – A low-flying plane in Greece.

New propeller design – A digital camera scans an image from top to bottom. When taking a photo of a fast-moving object, like this propeller, the camera captures different images at different times.

Smoke angel – A C-17 Globemaster III released flares which are created into an angel shape by the vortex from the engines.

Ghost ship – This image is an artifact from the satellite photo.

Birds of a feather – Photo was taken by a telephoto lens which makes the planes and birds seem to occupy the same space.

Let go – Someone is holding up a model toy airplane which seems to be part of the building.
