Obviously fake. Flag should blow in the opposite direction when the plane flies forward. Though, maybe the image is mirrored.
He’s clearly flying in reverse.

How else do they pay tolls?
Damn, Airplane missed a gag!
Not exactly roll down. The window opens on a roll lock mechanism that slides inward and then aft.
And the latch to close it has a really satisfying kerthunk
It does.
Gotta love a good kerthunk 😁
Not as much as I love a breeze at 35,000 feet
It’s so the cops can see his license and registration for when he’s pulled over.
That’s probably handy if their turn signals quit working. At least they can still signal the old fashioned way!
Yup. They’ve got a solid way around running low on blinker fluid.
Have you priced that shit lately! Sonsabitches act like they ain’t making it no mo.
Well with the worldwide economy in the tank maybe they ain’t. see if you can still get headlight fluid you might be able to iodize it overnight with a left handed screwdriver. Might work as a solid alternative
if the doors lock to protect the pilots from terrorist attack it is important to give the pilots a way out in case of fire
plus drive thrus
They’re so annoyed when they go out of their way to fly to Chick-fil-A then realize it’s a Sunday.
It’s really for the drive through, clearly
Fuel prices are really too high to turn on the A/C when flying.
Can’t wait till pilots try fuelmaxxing by coasting.
opening a window will generally use way more gas than using a/c.
Not at cruising altitude.
Of course, how else they gonna get their drive-thru Starbucks?
So they can step out for a cigarette
I don’t care if it was 100% safe. I could never id rather not be the opening death in the next final destination
I’m just gonna say aircraft are often made of class D fire materials and if a fire breaks out that fire is often self sustaining. Those windows open so the pilot has an evacuation route in the event they can’t leave via the door to the flight deck.
Well when you put it like that I’d rather take my chance with the window
The idea of traveling anywhere near half the speed of mach 1 with a window that opens is terrifying on its face, I will admit.
It’ll certainly blow your hair back
