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

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
Yvo it's either. 'people are getting' or people get' right?
Load More Replies...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
Load More Replies...Damn some people are dumb. Let the dude make his cool a*s 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....
Load More Replies..."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
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!
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.
Load More Replies...It's all photoshop. He's actually a heavyset Mexican grandma.
Load More Replies...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!!
Very creative... I applaud his creativity and whimsical sense of humor. For those who criticized him... lighten up, life is too short.
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, f*****g clown
oh course they were fake... wind speed alone would be overwhelming...
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!
Only n*****s 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-f**k people in this planet... B***h 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
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!!!
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!!!!!!
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
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...
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.
Load More Replies...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
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!
the reflection from his sunglasses shows the airport...magic solved :)
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
😂 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
"Dangerous" is the imminent degradation of human DNA. Please, do not delay meteor of extinction!
Lidee, he repeatedly says it's fake... he's never made a secret of that
