Therer are two other shadows behind the pooch, but nothing in evidence to cast them??

The downdraft is hitting the ground quite aways back from the machine signifying a fairly fierce headwind.

I don't this is the case as not only does neither the dog nor the machine with its tail low attitude indicate forward movement, but if there was a headwind then the machine would be canted into it with a partly nose low attitude to remain in the hover for the camera.

Unfortunately there is no evidence of wind effect on the grass behind, which should be the case as it is on an upward slope and would be receiving a small topographical 'jet effect' if in fact the wind was blowing from the front of the picture to the back of it.

Th grass looks like a native of South Africa, 'buffel grass', the colour of the machine, background buildings and the fact that '******' is mentioned, it probably is South Africa.

It's a fake.

so now brown cow, did I win a soda pop?
