It is NOT fake. The pilot was NOT grounded. The PIC was Dale Snodgrass. It was a planned display. For people who understand cameras, the photo is a result of depth of field. 8 g's? Then he broke a plane. (Not the 1st F-14 Dale broke or RIO for that matter) Capt Snodgrass is the highest time F14 pilot on record and will always hold that title. I'd rather have a "hotdog" who can fly on my wing or lead then someone who plays video games. As for your "hot dog" Dr Baker, your story is FOS. There as so many holes in this story I need a sieve to read it. Me? Retired Naval Aviator. Time in F14s and A4's.
