No offense, but it doesn't look real. The BUFF looks way too low and the size doesn't seem proportional. Anyone else?

You can see what appears to be its shadow.

It's real.

I don't think the BUFF is too low...the reason BUFFs usually travel at treetop level is because they're over land. Nothing would stop them from travelling 20 or 40 feet above the waves at sea.

As for size...BUFFS are big jets, but Ranger is immense. A BUFF is about 140-150 feet long, and a Forrestal class carrier is several football fields long.

The second fly by was even most impressive.

Yes this is a phototshop. The original is not though......usmcobra

Agreed. Besides, I didn't think a B52 could fly that low and still remain aloft (except for landings and takeoffs).

The outline of the plane in the above photo is correct, though.

These photos help to give a sense of scale. They are huge aircraft.
