LOL...it was a damn good fake.
Don't feel so bad.
It was only when one poster pointed out that the engine nacelles of a 747-400 are about 12 feet off the ground -- I knew that but somehow forgot it -- that I realized I had been scammed.
Damn good fake!
Heh, actually, somebody on the other thread (Debbie Schlussel got taken by this one too so I don't feel so bad now) posted a picture of a 747, and the nacelles aren't that high. I think he got the proportions about right. Someone over there mentioned that he'd seen an old 747 in an airplane boneyard in California painted in AF1 colors, so it's possible he used that. Or the whole thing could be a pretty darn good CGI job.
I had to go tell the friends that emailed it to me that it was a fake...they didn't bother reading the disclaimer either. :)
