Here are more photos by the same photographer on the same spotting trip. Just about all the aircraft registrations are both noted in the captions and visible on the aircraft, so anyone faking this many pictures would have had to go to a lot of trouble to get the correct aircraft.
And in any case, it would beg the question: Why would anyone bother to fake so many? You might fake one, perhaps, but the best part of a dozen? Scattered amongst other shots taken on the same trip that are plainly not faked?
Or are only some of the shots taken from this angle faked? And if so, which ones? Why? On what basis would the photographer have chosen to fake some photos while also submitting some equally good photos that were not faked?
The "faking" hypothesis just doesn't seem to make any sense to me.
