It's either cool Photoshop or .... Not sure why anyone would bother.

If it's for real then its not for increased manoeuvrability and presumably a larger bomb load is not the objective. I just hope the rudder and elevators are not independent , although if they were it might increase manoeuvrability....oooh it's a conundrum wrapped in an enigma.( and why is one aircraft shorter than the other???)

Cool? !! Look at the shadows. Light directly above the 2 aircraft, very oblique shadow of structure with 2 people on it, and a guy walking who is throwing no shadow at all. Different elevator deflection. Pretty clumsy is what it is.

Seems as if the "seams" (sic) are a bit too obvious.

plus ...

a closer look in photoshop shows some clumsy stuff in the joined wing section when the image is inverted, noise ninja applied and the gamma correction shifted. I do this stuff for money (art) ... and it's not a good one.

The guy walking is casting a shadow but he's mostly obscuring it himself. Look just behind his right leg and his torso.

The light obviously isn't directly above or you wouldn't see the shadow from the building.

Here's a pic before they glued them together!

This seems to be an older Czech hoax.



Another angle:



The same queston seems to have been asked here:

FlightSim.CZ | Zlin Z-226 MS Twin Trenr

Maybe someone more proficient in Czech than me can confirm this.

Hoax

Old hoax. The text in the newspaper scan is really funny. It is in Slovak language, not Czech. The buildings in the second picture are at the north suburb of Bratislava. The airport is Bratislava-Vajnory, now closed due to housing development.
