I have no idea who took this shot, or who's in it, or anything about it except that it's an awesome picture!

Shows up on mine just fine...even did a cache dump. Oh well, here it is again, in case it doesn't work for ya'll.

Nice shot but my vote would be on photoshop.

I'm going photoshop, too. Something just doesn't look right.

That picture seems way too high for a regular tandem jump...I could be wrong though.

This picture has got to be fake.

Well its at least feasible that an F22 could be flying in that position during a shuttle launch. But the first one, skydiving that close to a missile launch just doesn't pass the duck test for me.

Did the jumpers file to come down through that cloud deck? I didn't know you could do a localizer approach with a parachute...

I don't know what to think about this one. I know there have been plenty of jumps planned with permission to catch a picture such as this one. The people I used to do some flying with did it several times. The thing that has me wondering is whether or not the shuttle would go up in such an overcast layer such as this one.

Might not be the shuttle, might be something smaller.

When I was there for a night shuttle launch they said they needed at least 5000ft ceilings. Unfortunately it happened to be one of the few nights that Florida had a constant low overcast layer.

...might not be an American launch either...

I could see this happening at Vandenburg. KLPC is right next door, and we do get a funk of marine layer up that way all the time. And KLPC has a jump plane, and they advertise for skydiving.
