It comes with the rest of the airplane---which is a Boeing B777-300ER, and it clearly is neither an Airbus nor a 737 anyway. However, the "Photoshopping" of the "missing" nose gear is not only self-evident and obvious, but amateurish at best. Note how the inserted foliage in the distance encroaches the apron area. ...I am amazed at how some children waste their time...

As soon as we were aware of the mistake, it was taken down. It had nothing to with Turkish Airlines.” Thank you Adam Byairs Zeenah Group “Hi

The artwork is prepared by the local agency but the one in the picture is not the approved one and it is taken out two days after the implementation.It’s the fault of the agency so it is not fair to accuse Turkish Airlines.

Fact checking much over at Turkish Airlines? Serdar Ekrem Sirin,

The real one is in our site. http://www.thy.com/images/Image/fotograf_arsivi/kabin1b.jpg The second picture above has drawn our attention, thanks for posting the picture and comments. We would like to clarify this issue with further information. The picture was taken in Muscat, Oman. The agency that is responsible for this project had a breakdown of their internal approval systems that resulted in the supplier being misinformed about the correct way to adhere the signage in question. The sign was taken down after 2 days, with an apology letter from the agency. A correct version of the sign http://i50.tinypic.com/v5lc0h.jpg had displayed for a month. Thank you for your time.
