It's funny if you're in grade 9.
I would expect more from an aviation professional.

You guys are making my point for me.
I mistakenly thought this forum was a place where fellow professionals and amateurs alike could shoot the breeze about many common topics in a mature manner. Instead, it appears to be a stage for the kind of poor comedians you see in bars who are not funny and so resort to making fun of the latest person to enter the room.
When someone from outside enters your "club" and adds something to a topic, you know nothing about their experience, credentials, age, personality, temperament or even gender unless they tell you. For you to immediately dismiss what they say in favour of a cheap insult hoping to get a laugh adds nothing to the discussion.
My apologies to the many people who treat this forum as they should . These observations are not directed at you.

Actually what you see is the right hand external fuel tank.LostinRotation wrote:Actually the first thing I noticed, leading me to believe they were fakes is quite simple...under the intake of the first eagle pic, you can see where the picture was cropped and the backrounds are off.
But they're fake anyways !!!

This photograph is a hoax.
News media widely reported that shortly before the crash a passenger sent a SMS transmission indicating that one of the flight crew had become blue in the face, or roughly translated as "The pilot is dead. Farewell, my cousin, here we're frozen." Police later arrested Nektarios-Sotirios Voutas, a 32 year-old private employee from Thessaloniki, who admitted that he had made up the story and given several interviews in order to get attention.[8] Voutas was tried by a court of first instance on 17 August 2005 and received a suspended 6-month imprisonment sentence under a 42-month probation term.[9] The hoax was treated so seriously because it contradicts accepted knowledge of cabin-pressure emergencies and such false information could lead to fatalities and serious harm if people "accepted" the falsities of the hoax.
Another hoax involved photographs allegedly showing the aircraft being chased by Greek fighter jets. The photos were actually of a Helios 737-800 (rather than the crashed 737-300) with the registration altered and the fighter jets added.[10]
