Neverending contest (military aviation knowledge)

AC-119 FTW!

 

I don't want to enter the quiz, if you don't mind, but I've got something that needs your knowledge - as I experienced it, lot of you guys are superior to many other forums, and post more actively. So here it is, what the hello is that spaceinvaders-like panel on the right side?

Just for the record, it's not the C-119, but very close.

 

Could that panel be a radar display?

I only respond to that little mechanical voice that says "Terrain! Terrain! Pull Up! Pull Up!"

From Wikipedia:

 

Bump (Internet): returning a thread to the top of the list of active threads (acceptable reasons range from wanting to remind others that the question with which the thread started is still unanswered to offering new information that relates to an old thread; a less agreeable practice—as unwelcome as spam—is to do it simply to raise the thread's profile); the term is related to the concept of "bumping (pushing) something up" though others suggest that it is an acronym for "Bring up my post" (however, "bump" applies to any post in a thread, not just one's own posts)

 

Anyone have any guesses on my quiz?

Ah interesting, at first seems like a rusty minesweeper for long flights. Looks like an early version of the RWS L-150 Pastel ? (sweet name isn't it)

I thought it was a minesweeper, go figure my expertise on the subject :smartass:

 

Here and there is where I found the pic.

 

what is СПО? any valuable information about TsKBA L-150 Pastel RWR? couldn't find anything.

Don't know what it stands for exactly, but Beryoza is СПО-15 :) Basicly, RWR. And if you do a google translate on your links, you'll see that "PRG (ПРГ) - head of programming for firing missile radar;" is selected :)

 

So no, no one ever saw Pastel, I think.

Never forget that World War III was not Cold for most of us.

Yes you're right, I see what you mean nscode, thanks :)

 

Well, anyone could post a challenge so we can search for the answer and learn a bit in the process? that's the beauty of this thread IMHO.

As you wish. What is the purpose of this helicopter?

Yak-24K - Purpose: Transport ?

 

Another 1960 prototype was this VIP version. The fuselage was shortened, fitted with even bigger windows, improved soundproofing and heating and an electrically-operated airstairs, and luxuriously furnished for nine passengers.

Is it some kind of Yak 24u variant laying piping?

 

EDIT: or maybe even laying rails

is that a Consolidated PB2Y Coronado?

 

Yep, it is. Nice one Shnider.

 

Your turn.

 

Vanveken, you have to answer correctly before you post a new one.
