These computer transformed pictures are made with Corel PhotoPaint 6, and put in line with the authorization of the source photographers. Most of these jokes have been presented on the site Modified Airliner Photos, before I was warned by Google (via Mr Rostedt, thanks) that this M.A.P. site is attracting non-protected visitors to advertisement that may harm their computer (sorry, I did not know at all).
