Real or Photoshop?

You sold me! Change my vote to real.

The AOA issue is a non-factor, at 400 to 500 knots, any AOA is going to be miniscule.

Case in point the Israeli F-15 which landed with one wing.

Same flyby, viewed from the other side. I am telling you guys, you are not going to get anything by those screeners they have that view the photos. If you know what you are looking for with manipulated photos, it is pretty easy to see the evidence of manipulation.

Ah heck that's nothing. I've done flybys lower than that in the ol' C150. At top speed even. With my hands off the yoke.

The F-16's stabilators are not reversed.

You're thinking of the fact that they provide upward lift since the CG is behind the main wing's center of lift... but trailing edge up still means houses get smaller.

Not much debate with this view. Jet's high above rwy, nozzles appear to be at a high (non-afterburning) power setting with obvious heat signature. Gotta be over 350 KIAS with the low pitch picture, probably faster.
