The vapour cone looks legit but I would say that's about it. The original picture probably had the waves and boat but not the bomb blast.

I think I have seen a hyper-realistic painting that could have been the source for the Tomcat part.

Yeah looking at it again, I am sure when a jet goes super sonic that close to water there should be some disturbance below it. So I agree, Tomcat shopped onto the pic.

I had the privilege of flying around the cape peninsula in a Russian Yak. 

 

Good work. I had plans of splurging and paying stupid amounts of money for a Lightning flight with Thunder City in Cape Town for my 40th birthday. Dave Stock's tragic crash in a Lightning in 2009, and subsequent closure of TC put paid to that. But from what I remember of the investigation, safety standards at TC were not leading class, maybe it was an accident waiting to happen.

Nice vid.

 

Ive watched a few onboard and passenger videos of planes arriving and departing from JNB. Love seeing which places I can spot as they fly over Midrand etc.

Sitting at the OR Tambo airport, waiting for my flight back to PLZ. It's like a world on it's own... people waiting and sleeping in some places. And airport anything is more expensive. This is the most I've ever paid for coffee.
