Default 4 Gliders towed by one towplane -picture-

I should have said "In my opinion, the picture is a fake".

Save the picture as a bmp and open it with the windows paint program.
Zoom in to 800 scale and take a look. You'll notice:

* areas where "smudging" was performed
* look at the artifacts along the top surfaces of the gliders right
wings only.
* Furthest right glider left rear stabilizer has a faint black line
protruding vertically upward.
What is that? Why is the exact same thing showing up on the next
glider to the left in
the very same position? It looks like a poor cut-and-paste
artifact.
* Look at the tow rope for the second glider from the left, nearest to
tow plane. Notice the
waves in it?
* The heading of the second glider from the left is wrong - a collision
is immament.

I'm no expert, but I've doctored up pictures before and know where the
giveaways in my fakes have been.

Yeah, I know - why waste time on this? Cabin fever..
