Well, there were two photos of the IL96 take off, within a few moments of each other but two nevertheless
here they are Plenty of jet eflux in those pictures. (There is also a bit in the IL86 photo if you look closely)
Perhaps we could hear a little more about his supposed doctoring of photos and ban from a certain site. I certainly am unaware of it and I've been admiring his photos on a-net for a couple of years now.
I'm not saying they aren't doctored, but I find it highly unlikely.
