Name the plane (not hard if you’re of a certain vintage)

P-8?

Nope

I'm curious. But let's give it a few minutes.

The shape of the windows might help

I was the guy in the sub. So not my area of expertise. But the seating and instrumentation looked familiar.

Submarine?

This πŸ‘‡πŸΎπŸ‘‡πŸΎπŸ‘‡πŸΎπŸ‘‡πŸΎ and the SSN703 USS Boston

Wow. I’ve recently been reading some WW2 books - operation pedestal etc - being in a submarine in the Mediterranean at that time must have been absolutely terrifying

boeing 737 (no idea)

I don't know why, but my first inclination was to say that it is the same plane that is in "Dr Strangelove".

Lol. Too many dials and knobs for that. What a movie - Kubrick nearly got in trouble as his plane was very close to the real thing and the military were perturbed that he was able to get this intel on top secret equipment. The goat.

Is that when they asked him to do the moon landing videos then ?

I know that is just a theory or whatever, but it is fun to think about .

Probably later (if it happened). He filmed 2001 before the moon landing so I assume it was around then. Strangelove was early 60s

Maybe Antonow?

Nope

it's military? b-52?
