Pilot’s Dangerous Mid-Flight Selfies Go Viral, But Turns Out They’re Not As Risky As Many Thought
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
And there are some who believe the selfies are real
Even though the evidence is overwhelming
People get dumber and dumber....
Yvo it's either. 'people are getting' or people get' right?
my hair never looks that good when I do this at 45mph let along in an airplane.
Ohhhhhh Monika 😂😂😂
Your comment is correct as is.
Remember that once, an entire town in USA went crazy because they thought aliens were attacking. And also another once, in Ancient Rome, one emperor made a horse his counselor.
Ah, good old counselor glitterhoof!
*getting.... no possibility to correct a comment?
'get' fits nicely as well.
Just to clarify: "are getting" or "get" are both fine. :)
You think this is dangerous, see the ones I did from a space shuttle. Opened the window and aaaaahhhhhhhhhh!
You made my day, laughing at your reply. Now that was too funny. Blue Hippo
Or from a submarine
One pilot friend made a Photoshop of himself in a plane in space. What has science lead us to!

Pics or it didn't happen. Or as the millennials like to say: Show the receipts.
Damn some people are dumb. Let the dude make his cool ass photoshopped pics and move on with your lives!
LOL! Yeah some people are just too much! That plane is going 500-800 miles per hour. You can't open a window and use a selfie stick outside it. Duh....
plus the reflection on his glasses of the tarmac...
My friend has the exact same selfie (he is a pilot) but it's when he's on the ground, and passengers are not in the plane yet :D
"this is the worst photoshopping i've seen" It's actually really good except for the reflection on the sunglasses. It looks like he's really there without strange edges. This is the worst photoshopped photo: i_dont_see...5a85b5.jpg
Naw fam that photo looks ligit said no one ever
that's windows paint not photo shop.
India is an endless resource of horrible Photoshops RIPPhotoshop34.jpg
It's just for fun though...He had fun and I enjoyed the pics.... Hahaha
They even look fake. But the concept is pretty cool, though.
Most americans ppl are so so stupid....for believing that this pics are real...http://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/steven-spielberg-dinosaur-photo-from-jurassic-park-goes-viral-2014117 no comment...
To be honest its not only US. Here in India people will believe anything and everything even if it makes no sense at all.

I love how your racist sentence about Americans is so mangled. hypocrisy much? I'm not American by the way. :P
Amber Jouer America is a continent, not a race.
Racist? Did you go and check out what racist means? Nowhere in there was a bit of it. Being called stupid for believing stupid thing has nothing to do with being a racist. And lots of americans believe in lots of dumb stuff anyway. Very weird comment btw.
English grammar isn't an accurate measure of education levels. English may not be his/her first language. :P
lol thx -a very not offended american xD
Once people get over the fact that they were to his own admission, photoshopped, can people stop calling them fake and admit that it was a fun project? Why do people have to ruin a good to thing by trying to act like they found a big secret?
The first comment was stupid. The guy said that he was photoshopping, so why are you getting all triggered over it? Learn to ducking read!
I fail to see the point of this post.
The point is that people are retarded
Same. The title says "sparks debate", but there is no debate - the pilot himself repeatedly says it's fake...
Proving how stupid some people is? I mean, how can anybody believe this is real?
All I can see is how gorgeous he is! *d-roooool*
It's all photoshop. He's actually a heavyset Mexican grandma.
Hilarious
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!!
what do i think? i think that is one sexy pilot.
That's friggin awesome
LoL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hi Mom!!!!
Super idea Captain... and very well done. Don't listen to the fks who say otherwise and have never used photoshop.
People are stupid.
nice... these are really crazy selfies
Good lord, the internet is teeming with fucking morons.
WOW! They really do look real!!!!
Very creative... I applaud his creativity and whimsical sense of humor. For those who criticized him... lighten up, life is too short.
I believe the pilot already knew how dangerous it was. So that's why he used photoshop.
Look at the reflection in his sunglasses (in the first picture), we can see... the airport floor. So... it's a fake. (Aaaaaand, it's totally impossible :'))
FAKE AF! In the very 1st picture you can see it was taken on the ground, reflection in sunglasses, fucking clown
An easyjet pilot flying to NYC was a bit of a giveaway
All that and not a "hair out of place" ! Fake !
oh course they were fake... wind speed alone would be overwhelming...
...but it's a photo on the internet, it must be real.🤣🤣🤣
uhm... what about air pressure?
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!
airforce_1...00fc1c.jpg
airforce_1...d9803f.jpg
LOL ATTEMPTED MANSLAUGHTER :) :) :)
Only niggers believed it is real because they are stupid and not evolved. White men know joke when they see one.
There are way too many dumb-as-fuck people in this planet... Bitch please... can't people use their heads instead of just assuming everything????
if you people are still confused than look the background in his glasses...he did pretty good Photoshop but he forget how to do and what to do....the flow of air or the blow of hair is doesn't matter pilot-fake...151078.jpg
his perfect hair was the give away. I poke my head out at about 80 miles per hour and it is woosh .. that's like 300 mph or faster.. to think it is real is really silly maybe up to 100 mph tops
Did nobody notice the reflection of the tarmac in his glasses?
We need more "Selfie Control"... Ban those dangerous assault selfie sticks, and let's make it tougher for criminals to get their hands on selfie sticks. Keep selfies out of our schools, because they put our children in grave danger!
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.
The media isn't confusing it for real, they just know how to make a click bait title to get that ad revenue, kind of like you guys adding a couple of pages for one simple story to increase ad space/revenue
So many stupid people in the world! Great shots Dan, even if they are obviously photo shopped!!!
I think I made it more interesting. pilot-fake...7be703.jpg
really cool pictures, tho
Loving this guy, how to flush out the knuckle dragging mouth breathers on social.
his hair isnt blowing or nothing sticks out like crazy not even close to real
but he is not photoshopped, right? he is real? i mean, REAL!? marry me please!
I'm just surprised those windows are able to open at all, even on the ground.
Really people? You think those photos were real? Stop and think for a moment.
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!!!!!!
obvious photoshopped but deniably poser.
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...
Lmao at comments.. can't believe he would take a selfish while driving an airplane hahahha driving an airplane lmfao.. all thse pilots should stop messing around while driving their airplanes
in the 4th pic he isn't even taking a selfie? how'd he take it??
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!!
nah dont worry he still left a clue there, its edited and u can see it in the reflection of his glasses hahah anyway good shot !
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...
Jay Barber: attempted manslaughter
Those are really good
Fake pictures!
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.
I mean ... c'mon, check his glasses ... :D the reflection doesn't fit the background :D
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
Im a F-14 Tomcat pilot and taking pics like this is very commom! Yes it is possibld and even easy to open the cockpit at 600 miles/h and take selfies, i do it faster! Nice background, Daniel, is it Dubai?
People these days lack the ability to reason. In a pressurised aircraft you can't open a window
it's fake look at the shadows in his glasses
It's not real cause he said it wasn't.
Honestly... who cares?
first picture - reflection in sun glasses
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!
Wow that is some strong hair product
the reflection from his sunglasses shows the airport...magic solved :)
They clearly state that, yes.
you can see around the windowframe, it is different than a closed windowframe. his Tie would not loosly hanging in the wind hahahaha i think HE is HOT and can use photodhop very well
Profit

its really horrible... i have a announcement even a opportunity for all of you.... Facebook gives you a great opportunity to earn 98652$ at your home. If you are some intelligent you make many more Dollars. www.beartip.com
yeah it actually does look fake seriously
Photoslop
That's what he said it was
😂 That's some hair gel. He's the strongest man in the fucking 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.
.... just read the article...
Wow, how stupid are people these days? haha
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
"Dangerous" is the imminent degradation of human DNA. Please, do not delay meteor of extinction!
Right.....because temperatures up at altitude aren't well into the negatives and it wouldn't cause hypoxia from lack of oxygen.....

These must be real photos :D (up vote if you agree)
This comment is hidden. Click here to view.
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....
Lidee, he repeatedly says it's fake... he's never made a secret of that
Please read before inserting foot in mouth... or arse
Do it yourself, cunt
