as I was in the Navy, and worked on the Tomcat. the picture is real or chopped to portray a real event. Yes the plane is not as close to the carrier as it looks, the tomcat loves to play optical illusions in flight. I have wittnessed events such as this and the super sonic flybys. The jet is maybe 100 yds away frm the carrier at the least. and the camera angle makes the jet look to be lower than it is. It is still an awesome picture though.
