Iranian TU-154M with RF-5A front fuselage on the Vertical tail

[ravenclaw_007]

i have not seen anything like that , the Iranian Aircraft Manufacturing Industrie (IAMI) built this strange looking merger of 2 aircrafts for ejection seat test , first flight was 23 of july 2012

dont know if there are real pilots ejecting from that RF-5A front fuselage   ,  but this would be an interesting way to fly with an airliner

Interesting way to test an ejection seat. The Tu-154 is the fastest airliner today. So they can test the ejection seat at real flight speeds. Innovative approach.

Screw first class and warm food poisoning in an aluminum tray with a mediocre plastic glass of champagne, THIS is the ticket I want to buy!
