I saw this pic on Airliners today and I'm wondering if it's really real

Saw that one as well, it was on the front page of Airliners.  

Incredible I must say.

I did hear about planes like that, that they can hover up so you don't need to take off..

Also there is a plane like that in Grand theft auto... I think the latest one it was.
I've got nothing.

Shame the photographer didn't use a slower shutter speed, it would have been a better photograph if he had... not that it isn't good the way it is!

No, the Flanker cannot hover.

The photo forum is for YOUR photos not to advertise Airliners ::) Doesn't anyone read the notes for each forum? ::) ::) ::)
Your Aviation (or Personal) Photos. Please post other site images in Real Aviation or Specific Aircraft Types.

Which part of this is presenting difficulty?

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Mmm, the first Hawk (wingspan 30' 9.75") is about 100ft by the look of it! ;D

I once saw a Red Arrow at Fowey go quarter of the hight of the first Hawk upside-down through the harbour.

This low enough for you? Emphasised by the fact my cam focused on the runway marker rather than the aircraft (hence terrible quality!).
