The picture is simply an aircraft that appears to be on a ramp with the covers on, how do we know it flew with them on? All it takes is one numpty to invent something.
The circular arcs on the fuselage behind and centred on the pitots themselves with radii matching the lengths of the flags is quite a giveaway. A very big clue that they've spent a fair bit of time at high airspeed slapping against the paintwork!.

When else did you ever see those marks before?
