Yes, the other 7 official photos from the same link are also AI. Lmao. You gtfo.
The jets at Travis don’t care about any of the “fod” in this garden. A big jet like this landing is not loud.

FRED is loud, but not THAT loud.
There’s at least one person in this photo wearing ear pro anyways
There are half a dozen more pictures and an article on the Travis AFB website. It would be a weirdly inconsequential thing to fake

Where do you see a “FOD garden”? The entire turf area just looks like it was recently seeded, which is what you’d reasonably expect from an area that was regraded for a runway reconstruction.

Why?

Absolute unit.
Not the C-5, the dude with the tiny tie/sneaker combo.
