A plane not seen much. Very nice.

Oh yes, I remember these. They carried a long tube affair under the fuselage that was called side-looking airborne radar. Back in the day, the pilot could fly right along the border between West and East Germany (and South and North Korea) and see deep into unfriendly territory. Cool shot.

Well, this is a new one for me. However, I have known about sideways looking radar, so this was a bit of a surprise. Nice photo. Keep up the good work. :-)
