This IS a very bad day...
 

A Marine buddy of mine sent this to me stating that it will be in an upcoming National Geographic issue...or something like that?

No link!

What?

Photoshopped to hell and back

I fixed it.

That's the Golden Gate bridge in the background.

Those are PJs from a Reserve unit in California (I forget which one) and the Great White has been photoshoped in.

Not sure what the Golden Gate looks like but I think it is a "dupped" picture too.

It is photoshopped from hell and has been discussed ad nauseum on the net, up to and including the Snopes version which is what you have there.

Update
 

That's the 129th Rescue Wing in California.

That photo is rather old. I check Snopes and what is written on the above pic comes from Snopes, ver batum.

For refrence you can go to this board, where it's been talked about before....

If you go the 129th's web site, there is a pic of this helo dropping off the PJs. I attempted to load it here, but the size is too big.

I have seen this picture in I believe a maxim issue. They had around 5 fake pics and one real. As usual you are all on point and sharp as a tack as this is a fake.
