How embarrassing...

Darn student pilots :D

Dang, that took me a minute to sort out.

He's hanging on a wire/power cable, correct?

I ran out of height, airspeed and ideas all at once.

He's got a rope already tied off to something, and a figure 8 rope descender hanging from his waist. I wonder what's going on outside of the frame? Is the guy on the right a rescuer? Wouldn't he have a uniform on or something?

Yeah, what they said.

Portuguese is such a crazy sounding language.

Captured German Etrich Taube monoplane, on display in the courtyard of Les Invalides, Paris 1915...

I'm almost certain this is 'shopped.

Should the bottom of the Concorde be that well-lit?

Shouldn't there be silhouetting of the aircraft from the eclipse behind?

Shouldn't the sky be darker if there was an apparently full eclipse going on?

Would simply brightening the pic do all that?

Am I asking too many questions?

It was obviously following the cow over the moon. ;)

Belly strobe covers the bright light. I dunno about the rest of it.

May not be an eclipse, could be a lens with a center spot blocking the sun.

Fairey Gannet on the HMS Ark Royal built between 1953–1959...

How the Gannet ever became airborne from terra firma, let alone an aircraft carrier, remains something of a puzzle.

In many ways it was a tough old aircraft and even managed to limp back to base on one occasion without either wing tip.
