Sorry; no match; and definitely, that image is not a Boeing

I am an airline pilot. I have seen thousands of aircraft on the ground from the air. It is my job to identify aircraft. The AIRCRAFT in the picture is a Boeing 727-100. Part of the vertical stabilizer is missing at the back, and the horizontal stabilizer is missing. As well, the left wing has had the slats removed... but beyond that it is CLEARLY a BOEING 727-100.

I disagree...the wings are more swept back than on the 727-100. Also, compare the shape of the nose. Both match the Tu-154.
