William,
I think it's likely to be your photo. The dash of light on the lower surface of the stab is especially suspect.
But I guess it will be impossible to prove in a case like this.
If they simply deny it, which they likely will, it will be a lost case I'm afraid.
I'd say you can give it a try of course, but be prepared to rest your case.

I think it really is William.
The dirt in the blue bottom right ring is identical I would say.
Difficult to proof though but who knows what will happen if you send them an email.

After two emails in the past two days the guy or company is not respond at all
It is a real shame that this company make money with other people photos.
A photographer that read the forums over here send me this edit photo to proof it is for 100% my photo that is in use!
He crop my original photo and overlayed it on the box with transparency

Quoting B076 (Reply 11): I think there is progress in this case.
The president of flightsoft Mr. Zoffreo contacted me last night.
He will check into this matter at once on Monday morning.
So maybe this story will have a happy end
He also told me that most of the photos were given royalty free and in some instances deals in exchange for free products
Well, I cannot speak for other photographers here but in my case the photo was not given royalty free.
So we will see what happen Monday!
William
Remember, the company might be telling the truth. It's entirely possible that somebody else ripped off the photos, removed the copyright bars and then gave them to the company in exchange for free product or something. The company MIGHT have been innocently duped. Just look at the "idiots" who post A.net photos on eBay and try to sell them. Could be the same scenario here.
It will be interesting to see the outcome of this situation. But from the sounds so far, the company is responsive, and that's a good sign..... so far.
