I think, the B-47 Stratojet is the only aircraft with tandem seating, where the crew can leave their seats. The B-47 cockpit had a walkway down the left side.

Maybe the YB-52/XB-52 had a similar walkway.
But I can’t tell you, if “musical chairs” was even done on the B-47. 😀
Yeah I think it was that. If anyone has an update as to its exact function please let us know!
Just guessing:
1. room for a future intern targeting system like on the F-35
2. a laser radar system for near ground flying.
3. a simple camera during weapon separation testing
One of the six German Tornado jets recently deployed in reconnaissance flights over Afghanistan has been damaged on landing. Its nose landing gear and recce pod slung below the aircraft’s fuselage was broken in the incident at Camp Marmal near the northern Afghan town of Mazar-e Sharif according to the German military. The crew escaped without injury.
Maybe the French might invest in a rebirth of the ARMIGER. 😉
The … ARMIGER (Anti Radiation Missile with Intelligent Guidance & Extended Range) missile, which is being developed by the DIEHL BGT Defence to replace existing AGM-88 HARM missiles.
However, I asked a few months ago at Flugzeugforum.de, and a member wrote back that the German Armed Forces have canceled the purchase of the ARMIGER.
So the program status is back to the shelves.
Yes, they were waiting for aditional resources=$$$$$, possible from France
