Ah, I hadn’t noticed xd, but to be honest, it’s like half MD-10 and half B747.

I belive it’s like that to train in different situations, like tail-mounted engines and two floors.

You know what, I think you are right @Madison and @Variable , I am already thinking that it is used for firefighter training, and I thought it was a plane under construction that was later cancelled due to different issues, I still thank you for your corrections friends! ;)

I live near jfk, and I had a friend who worked at the northern fire station who once took me to work with him. It was a cool day in terms of spotting, and the different POV of the airport, being literally in between 22L and 22R, but also, the fire trucks were cool. They also had more than one of those training planes that they would light up. He even let me control the foam hose throttle pointer thingy lol- we sprayed the highway, and it was so cool hearing him talk to tower about where he can go.

This is used for ARFF (aircraft rescue firefighting) training by airport fire departments. It is a prop used to simulated engine fires, cabin fires, aircraft searches, etc.

side story: they did fire training and it looked very confusing from our plane
