Brazilian pilot Daniel Centeno appears to have reached new heights with his dangerous selfie game, hanging out of the cockpit mid-air. But is he really that courageous and are the snaps really that savage?

No. To create his stunning images, Daniel, a.k.a. pilotganso, uses Photoshop – he superimposes an aerial image over a selfie from outside the plane. A few details give this away: Daniel’s hair isn’t blowing against the wind and reflections in his sunglasses are showing an airport runway. Oh, and he said so himself.

That’s right, Daniel admits the images are fake in their captions. “I have to let you know that this photo is fake guys, just in case,” one of them reads. “Photoshop mode ON,” states another. Despite this, numerous people have openly expressed their belief that these selfies were legit.

I mean, people are free to believe what they choose but airline passengers shouldn’t be afraid of their pilots taking photos mid-flight instead of controlling the aircraft.

More info: Instagram (h/t mashable)

Over 62K people are following Daniel Centeno’s  crazy Instagram feed, full of mid-air selfies

(Un)fortunately, they’re fake, as people were able to find the same cloudy background just without the plane

Image credits: Snopes

Daniel even says so in the captions: “Photoshop mode ON”

Yet somehow the media and people are still confused

ADVERTISEMENT

And there are some who believe the selfies are real

Even though the evidence is overwhelming

People that think this is real are the most stupid persons in the world, how can this people possible. Imagine you drive with your car 150km/h on the highway and you take your head outside the window, it feels like your head is going to be ripped off,so traveling 4-5 time faster than a car more than 500km/h and take your head outside the window like he did you will immediately fly away and how is it possible that not even his glasses dont fly away so unless there is some kind of scientific explanation i dont see how this is possible. But respect for the guy ,good concept great idea and it looks cool!!

The funniest part of all this is the comment at the bottom about putting the lives in danger and comparing it to driving a car... Because when you're flying an airplane obviously there are no co-pilot or auto-pilot, and there are pedestrians, stop signs, red lights and other traffic EVERYWHERE!

Well, let me see...average speed of a passenger jet is over 500 miles per hour, but people are gullible enough to believe you could lean out of the window holding a selfie stick (and wearing sunglasses) with one hand. Try that on your way to work tomorrow while traveling 65 MPH and lets see how it works out for you.

As someone who has flown in plenty of helicopters, often with doors open, I guarantee that he would have lost the phone, the selfie stick, those glasses, that swoosh, and looked like those stupid videos of people sticking their faces in front of leaf blowers. Knew right off they were fake, but that is only from personal experience of how fast the air is at even helicopter speeds, let alone the speed needed to keep those gigantic metal tubes defying gravity. Air at high speeds is painful...

Although this is fake, flight procedures ask the pilot to put his head out during landing if visibility on both front windows gets affected by a bird strike. Although speed and altitude would be substantially lower than this photoshop

It's fake with a capital F. First of all: opening a door or window while inflight is pretty much impossible because of the heavy air pressure outside. Second of all: take a close look at his sunglasses in that first photo. All for the followers and likes. That's what the world is about these days....

I'm just surprised those windows are able to open at all, even on the ground.

If you look in the reflection of his sunglasses (in a couple of the selfies), you can see that he's not even off the ground!! They're fake people!! Good grief, use your brains!!!!!!

As someone who has flown in plenty of helicopters, often with doors open, I guarantee that he would have lost the phone, the selfie stick, those glasses, that swoosh, and looked like those stupid videos of people sticking their faces in front of leaf blowers. Knew right off they were fake, but that is only from personal experience of how fast the air is at even helicopter speeds, let alone the speed needed to keep those gigantic metal tubes defying gravity. Air at high speeds is painful...

He does not even try to make believe any realism, since we even see the tarmac in the reflection of his sunglasses (photo No. 1).

But... if he was standing on the side of an airplane he wouldn't be on the plane because he would have been smacked off the plane because lemme tell ya PLANES ARENT SLOW. THEY ARE FAST. REALLY FAST.

This is why boredpanda is proving to be a site run by ignorant fools. Why would people call it fake by finding the same cloud images for the background, when you can see that it's fake from the very first picture by looking at the reflection in his glasses?

Doesnt look fake?? haha, all the signs of photoshop are here, if you can't see them, you're obviously stupid xD wouldnt even be possible, or allowed, if he was known to do this, he wouldn't have a job anymore, stupid lol his tie is a massive give away in the first image, if you can't tell that's edited, christ the world is doomed.. it's no wonder NASA get away with showing us the shite they do!!

All you need to do is look at the reflection on the guy's sunglasses and be amazed. Looks a lot like ground, a street or something in the reflection...

Look at the reflection on his glasses you can see in the first picture he took a shot before they even took off. it's photoshop editing to the max :)

Check out the engine rotors behind him... They are NOT revolving. AND check out the runway reflected in his sunglasses..... That pic is FAKE/PHOTOSHOPPED.. Very clever though. Hahahahaha

Just a fun picture made with photoshop. You'd call it fake if he was trying to say otherwise.

Although this is fake, flight procedures ask the pilot to put his head out during landing if visibility on both front windows gets affected by a bird strike. Although speed and altitude would be substantially lower than this photoshop

People these days lack the ability to reason. In a pressurised aircraft you can't open a window

Pics are quite creative, and they are appealing to look at. Sure beats all those selfies taken in the car. I hope he makes more!

😂 That's some hair gel. He's the strongest man in the f*****g world able to hold a selfie stick out an airplane window and it doesn't get ripped out of his hands immediately, he's able to not be smushed against the plane unable to even move his little finger.

How stupid can people be?! Have you ever tried to hold you hand out of the window of a driving car? Let alone t hold a selfie stick while at it? Wouldn't be possible in any way while being in a plane, as it is way too fast. You can't open a window while being in the air anyway :D

Right.....because temperatures up at altitude aren't well into the negatives and it wouldn't cause hypoxia from lack of oxygen.....

This is such a stupid post, that I don't even want to comment on it. But I did anyway. Like, if you share same emotion and spare your figures the trouble.

It's fake with a capital F. First of all: opening a door or window while inflight is pretty much impossible because of the heavy air pressure outside. Second of all: take a close look at his sunglasses in that first photo. All for the followers and likes. That's what the world is about these days....
