Looks like a situation where I'd almost be shitting my pants...but I believe they were testing the nose mounted engine in that pic...as for the plane it's eluding me

It's a demilitarized B-17, testbed for a new Turboprop engine.

If it's trivia time, what is this Aircraft?

 

[HitandRunDriver]

Had to do a bit of legwork but Convair NC 130H with a questionable nose job...?

Loaded up about 15 to try and throw you, here's the first couple

Nice, good posts and a neat idea.

What's this? Shouldn't actually be that tough.

Since this is a guessing game that is a TU-4.

Do I win a nice discount on some 2015 heads?

Our everyday prices are a huge discount.

Nice job on the ID.

Dornier Do 335

Edit: The sole example that was tested in the US, now the only surviving example.

Close, it's an NC-131H. They took a Convair 580 and put the modified nose on it to create an in flight simulator. It had the capability of simulating several different types of aircraft.

I'm stoked; tomorrow I get to ferry a C-130 to Japan. I never thought I would get on a Herc again after I retired, except as a passenger.

Congrats Herk, man what I wouldn't give to get in the cockpit one more time.
