I guess the need to provide a photoshopped photo came down to the fact that the aircraft in question
a) dont actually fly over this fellows house after all
b) dont fly over often enough for the newspaper to get a photo
or
c) fly far enough overhead to not be clear in a photo
And the Defence Department should take note, that under the CRIMES (AVIATION) ACT 1991,
this man is committing an offence against Section 19:

Prejudicing safe operation of aircraft
(1)
A person must not do anything capable of prejudicing the safe operation of a Division 3 aircraft with the intention of prejudicing the safe operation of the aircraft.
Penalty: Imprisonment for 14 years.
and section 21,

Assaulting crew
(1)
A person must not, while on board a Division 3 aircraft, assault, threaten with violence, or otherwise intimidate, a member of the crew of the aircraft in a manner that results in:
(a)
an interference with the member's performance of functions or duties connected with the operation of the aircraft; or
(b)
a lessening of the member's ability to perform those functions or duties.
Penalty: Imprisonment for 14 years.
Both of these offences carry fourteen year jail terms.
This man is a danger to the safety of the pilots on board, and a danger to the safety of the operation of their aircraft.
The Defence Department needs to press charges without delay, for the safety of all.
