Is that who I think it is? Even during broad daylight I'd be terrified hearing him cackling in the middle of a tree farm.

Yeah, with Dukes comments about the gear, it looks like the gear is coming up and the shadow / blast effect might be the result of a sharp pull up after take off (as the gear is coming up) is the shot that was edited in. Also note that the arrester hook is not down (not that it would need it to land on a carrier without arresting wires!).

This fake is MUCH better done :

(largest aircraft to ever land on an aircraft carrier I believe)

I believe the pilot had to put the engines in full beta (reverse thrust) 3 feet above the deck to make it happen as they didn't have a tailhook and the arresting gear wouldn't have been rated for their weight if they had one anyway.  That's commitment, you're not going around if you do that.
