But I mea culpa'd in the very next message. A true blue American would
know that a stars-right flag is correct for the starboard side, while
this dinky di Aussie was reacting to a flag that seemed backwards, but
has a logical reason for the superficially apparent, but non-existant
blunder.

Re: False news

2017-10-17 Thread John

When painted on the side of ANY vehicle, the US flag is always depicted as if 
streaming in the wind, i.e. with the field towards the front of the vehicle.

Compare the various views shown of left & right sides in Google Images:

http://tinyurl.com/yd4dl6ou

Nothing in the image is flipped. It's *NOT* a composite.

It's a photograph taken by someone who knew the location and knew where to be 
standing with his camera when Air Force One took off to have a high probability 
of getting that framing.

On 10/14/2017 08:47, Anthony Farr wrote:

Recently, because of US flag respect/disrespect controversies, I read the
US governments guidelines about the display and handling of the
Stars-and-Stripes, or images of it. One of the requirements was that
representations of the flag should be imaged as if the flagstaff was on the
left, and another was that the starfield should always be on the side
nearest the flagstaff. Therefore the starfield should be on the left of the
flag on Air Force One's vertical stabiliser. Therefore the image of Air
Force One is flipped.
However, the image of the Mandalay Bay Hotel is not flipped, because the
broken windows are in their correct positions.
Therefore, the picture is a composite of a true picture of the hotel and a
reversed picture of Air Force One.

Runway 7L/25R (the Airnav sheet has it as 8L/26R) is the longest

McCarran. Traffic departing 25R should normally go straight ahead or

turn

right.


It says traffic pattern _left_ which I would expect - away from high

You could get that angle of view standing near the Las Vegas Village

Re: False news

2017-10-16 Thread Igor PDML-StR


What I was confused by are two things:
1. That building corner "flattened"  looks too flat. But maybe that's 
due to the compression by the long lens used.


2. The sape of the broken window on the left.
If you compare photos #3 and #4 here:
http://www.businessinsider.com/las-vegas-shooting-mandalay-bay-photos-windows-smashed-2017-10
apparently, it looks the shape is the same as in #3, but not as in #4 (and 
#1), - i.e. it doesn't have the "side" tail.
But if you click on #2 to zoom in, - you can see that that 
triangular "tail" is created by a curtain or something like that.


PS. Here is how the window was replaced:

Runway 7L/25R (the Airnav sheet has it as 8L/26R) is the longest

runway at

McCarran. Traffic departing 25R should normally go straight ahead or

turn

right.

It says traffic pattern _left_ which I would expect - away from high
population
areas.  If you do turn right I would expect a very high rate of climb,
making
the pictures less possible again.  Although, as I wrote earlier,

traffic

rules
may not aply to AF1.  Some planes are more equal than others, it seems.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airfield_traffic_pattern

You could get that angle of view standing near the Las Vegas Village
concert
venue's Gate #5 on Giles St and have a pretty good chance that Air

Force

One
would be departing in that direction.

As a representation of a flag fluttering in the wind, it's clearly suffering
from false wind and therefore entirely in keeping with Tweety's modus operandi.

Yes. Stand here 36.095449, -115.170635

Focus on that corner of the building and you've got a good chance any aircraft

More likely it would be a right turn departing runway 25R.

Runway 7L/25R (the Airnav sheet has it as 8L/26R) is the longest runway at 
McCarran. Traffic departing 25R should normally go straight ahead or turn right.

You could get that angle of view standing near the Las Vegas Village concert

and taking off from 1R or 1L could have the plane in that configuration 
compared to the hotel. A sufficiently long lens could give the compression of 
perspective that would make the plane seem a lot closer than that.

I wondered about that but a) I think it would be much higher and b) most planes
seem to turn left, away from travelling further over high density population.
 Normal rules may not apply to AF1, of course.

30 seconds in front of the real Air Force one to act as a decoy in the event of

I'm not so sure of that. I took a look on the map
https://www.google.com/maps/place/Mandalay+Bay/@36.0869256,-115.1810502,14.63z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x80c8c5cffb824261:0x97f68a25c5b4ddef!8m2!3d36.0918777!4d-115.175245

and taking off from 1R or 1L could have the plane in that configuration 
compared to the hotel. A sufficiently long lens could give the compression of 
perspective that would make the plane seem a lot closer than that.

There is some aspect of "can we trust the news?", but for me it's mostly 
interesting as a puzzle.  Could that picture have been taken?

Google maps shows the hotel within a quarter mile or so of the hotel, so the 
photo is obviously possible. Take off runways and direction vary from day to 
day and even hour to hour depending on wind direction and velocity.

The article it's from was about Trump visiting Las Vegas.  It's a photo 
that captures both Trump and the reason he was in Las Vegas.

I'm not so sure of that. I took a look on the map
https://www.google.com/maps/place/Mandalay+Bay/@36.0869256,-115.1810502,14.63z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x80c8c5cffb824261:0x97f68a25c5b4ddef!8m2!3d36.0918777!4d-115.175245

and taking off from 1R or 1L could have the plane in that configuration 
compared to the hotel. A sufficiently long lens could give the 
compression of perspective that would make the plane seem a lot closer 
than that.

Photoshopped or not, I don't get the point other than it's Air Force One and

The plane could not be at that altitude and going -up- in that direction 
given where the hotel is and the airport is.. may be more wrong than 
that..  but it is surely a photoshop paste job.
