I dont know, or what the airbase/airport in the pic is. For some reason, i mentally associate that pic with Tashkent (maybe i have seen it elsewhere with a description). But i could be totally wrong though..
Here is another pic (not same a/c) of an AN-12 in the Ukraine.

Fish pot!! you know what dictionary.com gives as the meaning of fish pot? (atleast the meaning closest to what was probably implied)
(Naut.) (a) A purchase used to fish the anchor. (b) A piece of timber, somewhat in the form of a fish, used to strengthen a mast or yard.
Also: a wicker basket, sunk, with a float attached, for catching crabs, lobsters, etc.

Darn… I promised OC I’d stop this. But, one
thing lead to another, I just couldn’t stay away. How can this be???
Why is it that I can’t resist the temptation???Anyway, here’s another riddle:
how’s about the name Frogfoot???
Yes Frogfoot!!! What is a Frogfoot??? I mean don’t you people
find these names lame to almost demeaning???Anyway, imagine for a moment that, if supposingly, India
become the next superpower which is undeniably very much in
the horizon; India phobia I’m sure will start to show its face in the west.
If and when that happens, what will they name the LCA/MCA?This much I know: I doubt that they will designate
the LCA/MCA the Bengal Tiger. Reason: The name, however little the affect,
does influence the psyches of flyboys when in the air.Now, to the Fagot:
While I don’t know where the name cometh. In this day
and age however, If we add an additional “g” to it, I believe the term Fagot
implies more or less that of a person’s lifestyle preference.I’m sure the west wouldn’t
assign names like that to many of their outta this
world cool cool birds of preys.
Fishpot: ????? whatever does that mean?
harke: ????
Cookpot, Careless, Crusty…what the heck!

here is another one :
FLAGON: Not one who indulges in flagellation hehehe.
Instead:
-A large vessel, usually of metal or pottery, with a handle and spout and often a lid, used for holding wine or other liquors.
-The quantity of liquid that such a vessel can hold.
Edit: someone ought to collect these NATO code names and list the meanings for each of these…they seem to be pretty obscure :rolleyes:
