Certainly didn't expect a four-engined Eagle...

Pics like that are impressive only if they're not photoshopped.

It is photoshopped.

If you closely look at the shadows and parts where the sun reflects of the eagle�s body you will notice that, considering the pic was shot
while looking up (neccesary for the angle on the contrails), the sun would need to be in the ground.

Also, an eagle with four engines? Man, thats a seriousely mean thrust to weight ratio...

Of course it's photoshopped. That was never in doubt.

Not mention fuel requirements.

Not mention fuel requirements.

And passenger seating is a bear. Not to mention beverage service.

Nah. All passengers are in the 'blow dry' section. It's a novel spin on hairstyling service whilest at 35,000 feet.

Or the in-flight meals: served in small chunks, freshly cut, cooked medium-rare -- and on the fly...

I think the photoshopped airliner also has passenger pods under the wings where the engines normally are.
