    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    It's a In-flight refueling receptacle. Their 747's can refuel each other :!:

    Actually, from what I've been able to determine, all three aircraft (Matt's original link, as well as the two in the refueling photo) are all ex-TWA birds. The Iranian Air Force purchased eight 747s from TWA in 1975. One crashed in Madrid in 1976 when a lightning strike led to an explosion in a wing tank. A number are still in service, and of course, the best know of that group was the one which was returned to TWA, N93119.
