One April Fool's day prank has really taken off.
It was on Monday that a plane at a Texas airport may have been covered entirely in sticky notes.
Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport shared the video on X, formerly Twitter, which appeared to show one of its planes covered nose-to-tail in the infamous office supplies, with captivated onlookers taking pictures and videos.

There have been a number of comments on X suggesting that the entire video is CGI. ''Nice try Dfw, crooks', writes one less-than-timid X user. However, many have expressed criticism towards Boeing, sharing remarks regarding the sticky notes pinpointing areas requiring maintenance. 'Maintenance reminders for @BoeingAirplanes', posts Carlos Ybarra.
Boeing has certainly come under a great deal of scrutiny lately in the aftermath of various engine issues and emergency landings that have pervaded its flights for the last month.
HNGN reported last month that a United flight was forced to divert to Denver after crews alerted to an issue with the plane's engine.
United Airlines confirmed that a flight from San Francisco to Paris had to land at Denver International Airport.
Emergency services were on standby for the arrival of a Boeing 777-200 aircraft due to a reported engine issue. Although United Airlines said the flight did not declare an emergency landing, precautionary measures were taken for any potential situations.
