I looked into it because I love outting bull****/photoshopped photos, but it is likely a real photo from the Detroit Metro Airport rally.
Full gallery from another photographer if you want:

If you look under the plane and see the baggage carts, they are probably appearing a lot closer than they actually are to the plane. Same lens compression causes that.
The effect of the compression is used cinematically with a dolly zoom or Hitchcock zoom (same effect, different names, Hitchcock used it in Vertigo)
Roy Schieder stays in about the same place but the background looks like it is getting further away. That is because they are pushing a camera closer to him, while zooming from telephoto to wide angle to make the background fall away.
Same idea, the seagrass isn't getting further away, just the focal length of the lens is changing and they are moving the camera towards the subject to keep him framed about the same spot.
So likely not photoshopped. Just used a ~300mm lens and had all the people in the photo so it looks more compressed than most photos of events like this, where you see more crowd shots with wide angle lenses, and the telelphoto lenses used for stage shots only.
