...for posting a Whatziss that's absolutely *no* challenge to you guys. But, I do it because I figure all y'all deserve a break from trying to guess what arcane piece of dumpster bait get the exact nomenclature of John's latest toy from underneath the bench seat in the southwest corner of the Regimental Sar'nt-Major's bunker during the Siege of Mafeking.
However, this is not one of those times.
Those of you who don't really have a lifewill should get this one right off the bat --
And, as always, I provide *context*!
Now, the second one isn't really a Whatziss, but a Whoziss. Some background briefing: One of the more onerous tasks I have is being torn away from my normal duties and coerced into providing a visiting VIP -- civilian or military -- with an orientation flight in the sim, either the B-206 or the Huey (II), and providing them with a hands-on demonstration of how absurdly *easy* it is to learn how to fly a helicopter *if* you havean absolutely superb a decent instructor.
And how astoundingly *hard* it is to hover, despite havingone of the world's premier your pick of some pretty good instructors.
And, as always, I provide *context*!
That pic was taken *after* the flight, as you can see by the looks of profound relief they display.
*koff*
And neither one grabbed my leg in terror.
Darn it...

Sorry -- got the Hi-Rez Context right here...
I'm not sure what the second picture is of as my eyes keep going out of focus from staring too hard. The shirt would be a ground safety violation but who's going to tell her. They look like the USO girls from the Trump ceremony. If they are, I was smooched by the Redhead...and lived to tell about it. What happened to the blonde??
ha-RUMPH!
And I have *never* used anything from the Siege of Mafeking (Okay, I read the post before I finished the comment).
Yet.
Nope.
What happened to the blonde?
She's the next clue.
Hey, c'mon, there's *always* a blonde...
@Fishmugger, I agree the "Whatziss" is probably a mounting pod for a camera. Maybe you could enlighten me, what would be the ground safety violation?
In an aircraft maintenance area proper attire should be worn at all times to prevent exposure to chemicals and other hazards. A bare or naked mid-rift is a ground safety violation...cute..but something is definitely being violated here. Someone should read her a regulation or two. I'm sure Bill had that exact thought in mind.
The second looks like 2 tactical distraction devices.
I would agree, in an *aircraft maintenance area*, proper attire should be worn. Problem, I saw nothing to suggest that actual aircraft maintenance was being done. If such activity was the center one's *only* attention, then I can see how you would draw such a conclusion. "I'm sure Bill had that exact thought in mind." It appears to me, Bill was extremely focused on *context*.
Cheers
