Have you ever seen the nose of an F-5 mounted on the tail of a Tu-154?

From what I read, they modified that TU-154 with the F-5 fuselage to perform inflight testing on their newly made ejection seats. Wonder who the poor sap is going to be sitting in that seat

LOL! Somebody remind the Irianians that they don't have to use real, live pilots during the ejection seat tests.
