    The frame of the window he is leaning out of is gone. So this plane was probably receiving maintenance, guy saw the window was removed, grabbed a selfie stick, took the photo, then shopped it onto a sky background. Plane has to be still, not only because this would be extremely hard, if not physically impossible to do, but dude’s hair isn’t even in motion.

        Oh yeah, I am aware. I just don’t know for sure it would be impossible to overcome those forces. Most likely not, but don’t know off the top of my head.
