no way! thats one macine

that's got to be photo shopped right? I honestly don't have any expertise in that area.

i honestly dont know either, but there are people here that can tell us.
it looks really, really good at first glance though.

It's also fake. First of all, there aren't any transports like that that are supersonic, as is claimed in the video title. I don't think there's any way at all possible that an aircraft like that COULD be supersonic, or even fly. The air from the first set of wings (not the canards) would disrupt the airflow over the second set of wings which would destroy the lift of them, and create a ton more drag. And a twin engine? No way in hell are those engines getting it airborne. Those look like the JT8D family, and no JT8D ever produced has enough power to get something like that airborne, even if it's like a 727, and has a tail engine.

re-watching it several times I am not sure what to think. Maybe it is photoshopped? It appears that the streams don't match up to the wings after the plane passes the clouds, but what do I know about them? I'm no expert on aircraft, but usually when I see streams off the wings, they're in line with the tips?

awesome, well that does it for me then. cheers for that.

I see this daily in the airspace over my little west texas town. Just a formation.. Not something new.

Refueling exercise? Practice? Who knows. But it happens here maybe 10 or more times a day, well into the dark hours. At night, the lighting pattern and slow flight of such a maneuver makes the jets look like the infamous TR3-B.

Just letting ya know.

Hmm
It looks exactly like a MD 80.

With 2 front sets of wings that perfectly match the normal wings. Just look at any MD 80. Plenty of room to add fake wings up front.
