No doubt it is a hairy approach, but that particular photograph looks very photoshopped!
As for macho guy not looking at the a/c as he ducks... maybe that can be explained because of the way his arms are positioned on the bike... it would take some effort to crane your neck round and up to look at the aircraft and is not wha would happen biometrically if you were to duck as a reflex.
The left of the photo is not a result of bad cropping - it screams of cut and paste or bad use of the 'dodge' tool or other such item.
The shadows do not tally on the aircraft compared to the ground vehicles.
Not only is the photo doctored, but it's been done by an amateur.... ties in with it being in the Daily Mail I suppose
