Just had this mailed to me.....i think its for real.(Will check ) Anybody know why it looks like that?

Boeings (all models) must be the most modified aircraft ever.....from the 707 right through to ....well.....this.....




Enjoy

well i found this: N757A (cn 22212/1) This is not your typical 757. An F-22 wing has been grafted onto the top of the fuselage as well as an F-22 nose on the front. This 757 is used for testing avionics for the next generation fighter, the F-22 Raptor Stealthfighter. Also, this is the first Boeing 757 produced, and still going strong.

seems like what happens when a 757 and raptor mate!!!!
In the ongoing battle between objects made of aluminum going hundreds of miles per hour and the ground going zero miles per hour, the ground has yet to lose.
