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.

looks like an Russian Zvezda K-36 ejection seat at the top picture , i would like to know if they replacing all there ejection seats with this one or if that was just atest for there HESA Saeqeh

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!

this is a great solution when traveling with your mother-in-law. For an extra 25 dollars you can sit her in the tail away from the rest of the family.

I'd pay an additional twenty-five dollars if they handed me the remote button to test the ejector seat.
