Sorry this is off-topic, but is the cockpit of that plane open?!

It is ... it looks like a photoshop job. Possibly even a photoshop of a plastic model.

Note that the front tire (tyre?) is NOT spinning. Also, no visible jet exhaust.

Now ... nobody's claiming that the picture is of the airplane in the report taking off ... but real, archival photos are available. Why use such an obvious fabrication?

I believe you've picked it. Thing is: it's a plastic model of a real flying plane
