theducksSo we're in Singapore. Woo.
Flying out of Perth there was a /VERY/ odd looking aircraft on the runway. I've spent a good 15 minutes searching on wikipedia. I saw a photo of it on there a few weeks ago (if that) and I can't remember what it is.
It's a 4 engined USAF aircraft, some varient of a C-135 (Boeing 707) but it has a HUGE black bulge about 1/3rd of the length of the aircraft, a large black bulge on the front, where the nose should be, and the front half is painted black with a white arrow down the side.
Very odd.
