I'm still going for "real".

And herein lies the problem-a basic misunderstanding.  I also think it's real.  I was fighting for people's right to believe it was a fake ;)

I'd make a fantastic politician, or lawyer.

Politics is far too filthy for me however.  And law is... well... yeah, too filthy as well ;) :P

Check out the link below and then go to the last post and picture. I think that this poster has cracked it. He has pasted two images to the first picture in the series. You can just see that the wheel is vertical in the left thumbnail possibly indicating a gear colapse and then leaning in the right thumbnail indicating fake. Yet then, am I seeing what I want to??

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

That link proves nothing ...... the two images are from different angles .....  as someone in that thread said ..... too many images to be faked.

Check out the guy sat on the blue tug ...... his back is vertical the angle of the gear is not... and remains the same throughout the series of pics.

Also having had this happen to a truck I was driving I know this can happen very easily on a hot day.
