My guess is a sink hole or some other sort of under taramac erosion.

I kind of doubt it's fake. Reason #1: why all the hullabaloo for just a Gulfstream? Reason #2: why would the guy in the second to last shot just be lying on the tarmac?
I guess I just don't understand what would be fake about it...

I'd imagine chris is right. Possibly a hot day, the tarmacs gotten soft, and there was a drain or something simmilar under the wheel.

I've seen this kind of thing several times - and its not always just melting tarmac. There was a German Tornado that went through the concrete at RAF Fairford (RIAT) a few years back...

Maybe its not fake, but the last pick looks kinda fake to me. Id expect to see a little cracking or something in the tarmac

It's hot, it doesnt crack, it just bends.
Think of bending metal. If it's not hot it will snap instead...

I kinda follow what Nexus said, possibally the tarmac got to hot in the day, became to liquid form or something under a drain or soft. Then started to bend around the wheel design.

Shot 6 and last look the fakest (I think).

I've had it happen with a fully loaded truck on the carpark at the back of the shop I was delivering to. The truck listed to 30 degrees from vertical because the load shifted. It took 6 of us to handball the load off (very carefully) and then a recovery truck to lift the wheels out of the hole.

Why is everyone so eager to spot a fake photo? at least 25% of the off-site photos that people post are called out by someone as a fake. Give it a rest people, not everyone is out to fool you.

Might it have something to do with it actually looking fake? (that last photo really does raise eyebrows)

I've actually seen stuff like that happen in warm weather, or old asphalt that may have had a crack in it where water seeped through and eroded everything away beneath it, and it collapsed, but it you put something on the asphalt before it collapsed and was heavy enough, it would have just bent down like it did here.
