    At first you think it is totally fake, but then you start thinking how that picture was done in the first place?

    I guess the background was replaced.

      The frame of the window he is leaning out of is gone. So this plane was probably receiving maintenance, guy saw the window was removed, grabbed a selfie stick, took the photo, then shopped it onto a sky background. Plane has to be still, not only because this would be extremely hard, if not physically impossible to do, but dude’s hair isn’t even in motion.

        The cockpit windows open on either side so that the pilots can clean the windshield easily on the ground, and then also to serve as an emergency exit with a rope ladder can be dropped out

        if not physically impossible

        It would be physically impossible. The pilot would be pulled out from the window

        There’s some case(s?) where this has happened when a window has broken in the cockpit

          Oh yeah, I am aware. I just don’t know for sure it would be impossible to overcome those forces. Most likely not, but don’t know off the top of my head.

        You can wind the side windows down in most aircraft, it’s how they do things like clean the windscreen.

        The several hundred mile per hour wind would make holding a camera on a stick steady impossible

      Also it’s a 737, that’s flying with most bits attached? Doesn’t seem very credible.

      Yeah last time this came up (the image was over five years old) the conclusion was that the photo was taken on the ground and the background was replaced.

      By piecing together different aspects from multiple pics - the plane, guy, stick etc. all being real but then clouds added later, covering up landing gear.
