AF A320 Wingtip Strike
Does anyone remember this AF wingtip strike?
Memory fails me
I'm assuming wind shear?
Is it genuine?

It positively screams PhotoShop. Save the pic and re-open it, and blow it up 300%, and you'll see that the plane isn't even in line with the runway, but is angled at 45° to it. The plane angle is totally out of kilter with regard to any normal approach.

EoR ... This one is real:
March 1/08 Airbus A320 D-AIQP operating as Flight LH 044.
On landing runway 23 Hamburg Germany, in very windy conditions, the aircraft was caught by a gust lifting its right wing up causing its left wingtip to strike the runway. Pilots were able to go-around for a 2nd safe landing on runway 33.
Damage to leading edge and left winglet.

Sometimes it is not photoshopped
Remember this one?
Photos: Airbus A310-325/ET Aircraft Pictures | Airliners.net
Very spectacular, but so obviously fake that a lot of us jumped in with all sorts or reasons why it could not possibly be real.
See thread http://www.pprune.org/jet-blast/3971...eeeeeeezy.html
Then the photographer turned up on the thread with some more photos of the incident.
Had to wind neck in rather rapidly and apologise profusely.
