Elnzaod said...

And this is the new SEGWAY plane...

Coco said...

Also: Hug me baby... uh... better not!

the undercarriage emerges from the nose-cone. sadly, it's just out of shot in this picture.

homer1523 said...

it reminds me of zohan doing pushups.

Jillian said...

Hmmm...it feels like something is missing.

Coco said...

Oh c'mon, Hasn't anybody noticed her elbow? IT'S BACKWARDS!

DanH said...

@raedarius are you actually expecting someone to believe you?

DanH said...

also...

Turkish Airlines aren't doing to well with this Fail thing:

my ex-wife can do that.

Actually raedarius, that looks like a vertically squashed, 777 Boeing and the nose wheel should be about half way between the front cabin door and the left pilot window.

Matteo said...

I really wonder which is the reason to remove by Photoshop a part from an airplane... I'll never get an answer I presume.
Nice post :)

hdahl100 said...

My girlfriend can make me do that

raedarius said...

DanH,

No I wasn't. Looks like someone might have though...

Then again maybe it's me who missed their joke.

Ron said...

EVERYBODY TO THE BACK OF THE PLANE!

Perhaps both problems are related? Her right arm may have been offering a little support to the front of the plane to assist with it's 'balance" problem, before they, um, fixed her arm.

Scott said...

All the passengers smuggling hash are backpackers at the back of the plane, cantilevering.

Randal L. Schwartz said...

"My girlfriend can make me do that."

No? Too obvious?

Maybe, "Obviously, there's a small owl holding this plane up."

Andrew A. Gill said...

Not a disaster. They've got some osmium weights in the tail.

Randal L. Schwartz said...

"I really wonder which is the reason to remove by Photoshop a part from an airplane... I'll never get an answer I presume."

I suspect it was actually comp'ed from plane in flight, but then someone rightfully realized that it'd need some form of undercarriage, and didn't bother to look at any of, say, a billion pictures of the real thing. :)

Randal L. Schwartz said...

Bizarely enough, ran that page through Google Translate, and it's all about the scarf:

"The scarf is one of the most important accessories of a flight attendant. The oriental-patterned cloth loosens the blue and white uniform of Turkish Airlines on..."

Morgan said...

My god, Turkish Airlines fail twice in one day!

PoCoLoco said...

Pilot: "Roger than, Tower One... switching front landing gear to "Stealth-mode".

Amy said...

My boyfriend can do that!

Walter Horvath said...

The shadow also appears to be lazily (and incorrectly) comped in, and the scarf starts looking more and more like it flew at the attendant and decapitated her the more I look at it.

my guess is they made the plane from parts and pasted the stewardette in after very carefully cutting her out from another scene by erasing pixels at 1600X magnification with Macpaint. That explains everything. Thank you.

Waldobaby said...

I forgot to say something about inconsistent light sources, but that seems to be normal these days.

Aerozol said...

Trust a fashion article about stewardess uniforms to try to slim down the plane too.

Waldobaby said...

One last thing! How come no one has brought up the gross and even overweening symbolism of Eurasian patriarchal power inherent in the stylized offering of a submissive pretty lady who is able to gain validation only through her association with a huge flying penis?

Either the engeneers of this plane were a bit too overachieving, or it's just really happy to see the stewardess.

ewaffle said...

Do both her arms bend the wrong way at the elbow or is her head on backwards?

There seems to be a real epidemic of heads turned 180 degrees from where they should be.

wv: nolices. Their planes have no landing gears but at least they have nolices.

ewaffle said...

michel.belleville@gmail.com: Is that a Boeing 777-300ER in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?

Michael Karnerfors said...

The funny part is that this is actually physically possible...

Caravelle a bit rear heavy

Boeing 747 having lost its balance

So... in theory, the image is possible. :D

matt said...

It's actually two planes in one. Really! The original photo has a Boeing 767 (the rear part, you can see that from the 4-wheel-MLG) and the front end is a 737. They were probably merged behind the airline logo. The color also gives it away, the white in the front is brighter. Really weird.

Avoura said...

I have flown with Turkish Airlines and never noticed that their planes have no front wheel. Maybe sometimes they retract the front wheel for fun to scare people! Or maybe this photo was taken a second before the plane fell forward on its nose and was severely damaged. But it was worth it to get a good shot of a Turkish air stewardess in her new uniform.

Tim said...

It's a tail dragger, don't ya know.

Peter said...

On their homepage there is no plane where there are partly no windows between the first two doors.

lisabrodsky1965 said...

My plane can do that.

Tim said...

The shadow of the aircraft is very thin. The starboard engine casts no shadow at all.

The airline apparently only had enough budget to pay for the first 10 minutes of the designers hourly rate -- obviously he just didn't have time to finish the job.

yitz said...

Can anyone's girlfriend do that?

ropers said...

I didn't even notice the missing front undercarriage at first, but hell, what's wrong with the stewardess's arms?

The said...

What many people don't realize is this particular airline is hurting for money.
They were forced to buy the front landing gear off of ebay. It turns out that Wonder Woman is parting out her invisible plane. (Obamanomics)

Florian said...

:))

Charlene said...

"(Obamanomics)"

I'm wondering: do Americans get fantastic prizes when they dredge up American politics in discussions that have nothing to do with the United States? Like a Photoshop disaster from TURKISH Airways?

CRash said...

@Charlene:
Yes. In this case, a free year's supply of TURKISH Delight. Which we only know about because of The Chronicles of Narnia, but if it's free food, we'll take it!

WV: araste
Either part of that plane was araste, or else it wasn't even there in the first place!

cawineguy said...

Best comment on the disaster ever. Nearly spit my coffee out. And my word verification is "cuums". Hmm, is there a common theme on this blog?

Bommi said...

Take this plane with the red turkish flag:

PinkPanthress said...

Vay anam!
It doesn't need a front undercarriage?
-That's very futuristic!!!

melissa said...

Maybe it's a tail wheel airplane. :-)

Stephanie said...

It's disturbing that there are so many German Ads here.
I feel kinda ashamed :/

Mark said...

Is that your plane... or are you just happy to see me?

beeindruckt.com said...

Turkish Airlines..nothing is impossible

brunswick said...

Kevin Smith is sitting at the back.

Ladya said...

I think the stewardess stole the wheel. She's so obviously hiding something behind her back and grinning devilishly XD
