That's actually a photoshop job showing Boeing's plans for the old McDonnell Douglas YC-15 prototype in a research project for an advanced tactical transport aircraft. I guess they got some funding and are actually going to follow through with the idea for doing the conversion.

Two oddities strike me about this plan. First, why didn't Boeing stay in-house and do this with their old YC-14 prototype that was the YC-15's competitor fof the cancelled program. And second, while much ado wasx mafe of the "missing F-19 designation" what about the gap between the YC-14 and YC-15 prototypes and the C-17 Globemaster?

Perhaps it's another clue about the existance of the Senior Citizen advanced tactical transport.
