    Sorry, but Omega does’t use the KC-135 but the Boeing 707. Which flew as C-137 in US services. You only have to look for the windows. No windows is C-135, with windows is 707/C-137.

    A quote from the Omega website

    Current Fleet of Aircraft
    •2 x Boeing K-707s (specially modified B-707-300)
    •1 x McDonnell Douglas KDC-10 (specially modified DC-10-40)

    (I think the website need a update now.) 🙁

    That Facon has a towed target under the wing so I guess lets go on with this F-104 with a Dart:

    Can anyone identify the badge on the nose of this Afghan MiG-21? The roundels are very unusual, I am sure because it is a gate guard. Nonetheless, they are odd. A throwback to the roundel they used back in the ’30s, but it looks like the colors are reversed.

    It’s not unusual for the Afghan Airforce to mixup the colors, See here: http://cocardes.monde.online.fr/v2html/en/pays/afghanistan.html

    The roundel om the MiG-21 looks like the Malawi ones right now.:confused:

    So the C-130 is a bomber? The C-47 is a bomber and the An-2 is a bomber and the An-24/26 are bombers and the Piper Cub that some bloke figured he could throw a grenade out of is now a bomber also?

    oh, and don’t forget the AC-123K which was really a bomber. :rolleyes:

    sorry no pics but a while ago I was searching the same answer and found this:

    http://russianwings.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=573

    in short:
    МиГ-21-93. This version basically means arming MiG-21bis with new weapons control system on the basis of multifunctional radar “Kopye”. Aircraft is armed with mid-range AA missiles R-27 family, RVV-AE and close-range R-73E. For ground and sea targets – missiles H-25M, bombs KAB-500KR.
    It is being established: indication on the helmet glass, helmet targeting system, multifunctional displays, inertial navigation system, digital system of air signalling, radio-electronic complex, power supply systems, registration systems, western avionics and weapons ( on the customers request ), etc. Possible switching-on to MIL-1553B contact standards.

    МиГ-21-98-1. In this version on MiG-21M pilot has better survey, and it is equipped with automated system of control and dialog with upper level crew and small “Moskit” radar, which is less demanding than “Kopye”. Armament and equipment is similar to the one on MiG-21-93. Modification of driver boxes and installation of new generators is not needed.

    МиГ-21-98-2. This version ensures the application of R-73E missiles on all MiG-21.

    МиГ-21УМ-97. Version of MiG-21UM modification, ensuring pilots preparations and trainings for MiG-21-93 and MiG-21-98-1.

    maybe this will help you.
