More interesting is the first comment in this URL:

You should have removed the gear when you Photoshopped that picture of a parked F-22. Update: that's the Mojave Desert, and the original photo is of the first 'raptor' prototype parked at Edwards AFB. - qzpdljpn



What photo are you referring to? I don't see an F-22 picture in the Ars link.


Pretty sure they are talking about this article:

Haha, that photoshop is obvious with the landing gear. Thanks!


Good point. When you blow-up the image in Photoshop and see the pixelation around the perimeter of the forward wheel assembly and little elsewhere it does suggest a bad hack job.


And they wouldn't be flying with landing gear out at that altitude.


This is an official USAF photo of a F-22 coming in for a landing. What people perceive as "photoshop" is a result of the suns positioning relative to the plane and camera.


Seriously. Unless you want something dogging your tail to shoot past and you're outfitted with a very robust landing gear assembly. Doesn't look like those conditions are being met here.
