Now again look at the shadow of the plane vs the plane itself. For that plane to have cast that shadow, the sun would have had to have been at least 50 degrees behind the photographer. The shadow is of course of a smaller plane further back in the hanger. like I said, amateurs.

No you're wrong, its because of the hanger building's orientation. You can see its clearly daylight, probably between 8 and 10 am in the morning with the shadow of the nose inclined(it appears smaller because it has to, notice the distance between the nose shadow and nose wheel) the back wall of the hanger is facing the N-W and the door of the hanger, in the plane's nose direction is facing the S-E. The shadows and illumination are all in sync, its a photograph, not doctored image. Come on now.....!

And while I remember, I'm not an amateur graphics designer. In 1979 during my 1 year in varsity (that's another story) I used punch cards to programme the universities mainframe to print out a 3ft high greyscale rendition of a playboy centrefold on a slaved typwriter using nothing but the 'x' key. I got an a+.
I am now the senior editor of a nationwide tv station with special responsibility for graphic design, often covering compositing of 20 layers or more of real and animated elements.
And I think in 3d visual images. If you wonder what that means, try building a model of an engine in your head and work out how each part moves. As an example, on an old side-cam distributor ignition motor, if the crankshaft moves clockwise, which way does the rotor on the distributor rotate?
Answers on the back of a ten dollar note and send to me.
