Iron Man Aircraft

I just got back from seeing the movie, and I saw the aircraft Stark flew around in.  Seemed to be a HEAVILY modified 727 or 707 or something.  I was wondering if anyone has seen the movie and could tell me what that jet might be.  I know it wasn't CGI, so it has to be an actual aircraft.

It was CGI.  It's amazing what a big budget can do.

Okay, so the one in the air was CGI.  Does that mean the one they got into on the ground was CGI for the rear half?  At any rate, I was wondering because I want to get images of it to make a mockup in FS at some point.

BTW, I just decided to go see the movie again tonight!

Okay, I watched it again today, and I'm fairly sure that the flight sequences were REAL.  If anyone can find a vid that disagrees with that, I will happily conceed the point, but I firmly believe that this aircraft actually exists.

I'm sure what they did was take a B737, painted the tail section green, and CGed the end in.
