Actually, it's a cheese cutter. At least, that's what we used to call it when I worked on them. They are for electronic surveillance and jamming. It's nice to see one of the old gals again. Thanks for posting.

Nice shots. You don't see the first one very often. And the 3rd photo, I flew that plane in UPT.
