Yeah sorry but same here, looks fake. The color of the white to me isnt consistent enough.

Yep, I'm gonna go with the photoshop crew here

The new Dominican airline, Air Dominicana has recently taken delivery of three new ‘Flying Duck’ airbuses. The new planes are the latest models from the European manufacturer and can reportedly carry 15% more passengers, 25% more luggage, and 18 more stewardesses, 19 if they are particularly slim or if they agree not to eat during the flight.

And..

The one chief advantage of the new shape, is that the long, flexible neck allows the front of the plane to adjust up or down. This means that when the plane is flying through clouds, the cockpit can be lifted out of the clouds so the pilot can get a clear view of the path ahead, while the main body of the plane remains in the clouds collecting and filtering moisture through specially designed air-intakes for the air-conditioning and coffee-making system.

^^ the original

It comes from a website whose contributors photoshop airliners. For example they are known for creating faked triple decker Boeing 747s etc. There's no conspiracy here. Just an admitted photoshop displayed out of context.

Haha, absolutely fake but a bloody hilarious one at that!!! Now why cant they paint airplanes like that for real

Yes, you have it spot on, as I'm sure you already know 100%

I've often enjoyed browsing there for a laugh (and also for inspiration in my modelling). This is a picture I enjoyed, looks convincing too for those who don't know any better.
