Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.
I will introduce more rules later and when I finish doing that I will make an announcement post about that.
For overall temporary guide check out the rules here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hmmm/wiki/rules/
I won't be moving all of them here but I will keep most of them.

The frame of the window he is leaning out of is gone. So this plane was probably receiving maintenance, guy saw the window was removed, grabbed a selfie stick, took the photo, then shopped it onto a sky background. Plane has to be still, not only because this would be extremely hard, if not physically impossible to do, but dude's hair isn't even in motion.
The cockpit windows open on either side so that the pilots can clean the windshield easily on the ground, and then also to serve as an emergency exit with a rope ladder can be dropped out
It would be physically impossible. The pilot would be pulled out from the window
There's some case(s?) where this has happened when a window has broken in the cockpit
Oh yeah, I am aware. I just don't know for sure it would be impossible to overcome those forces. Most likely not, but don't know off the top of my head.
You can wind the side windows down in most aircraft, it's how they do things like clean the windscreen.
The several hundred mile per hour wind would make holding a camera on a stick steady impossible
