As a Photoshop professional (http://www.montrealfood.com/retouch/) I can guarantee that this is a complete phony. One doesn't even need to be a Photoshop professional to see that the complete setup is ridiculous: the plane's trajectory would send it careening into the ground long before the runway; the shadows of everyone except the plane are heavily angled towards the horizon; the reflections on the fuselage are completely different than reality . . . need I go on? It's a completely amateur job, not even worthy of discussion. Is it POSSIBLE that planes come in this low at this particular airport? Well, look at the photo at http://www.airliners.net/open.file/199562/M/ for proof that all things are possible (that photo is definitely not doctored).

But THIS particular photo has been amateurishly thrown together by a Photoshop wannabe.
