Guess what this is a photo of!

[phinz]

It's part of a modified KC135R. It's used for testing icing conditions on planes in flight.

It fits a NKC135. It's used for testing icing conditions on planes in flight.

So apparently that is a use. My encounter with it was for an airborne de-icing experiment.

It's all yours.

This should be pretty easy. What is this?

 

[Buck]

An aeolian harp?

 

[phinz]

That would not be it.

 

[Buck]

Does it have anything to do with wind?

 

[phinz]

Only if there's one blowing. I would imagine that it would be windy there on the water.

In other words, it doesn't specifically depend on the wind, and it isn't used for anything regarding the wind.

This is an unusual angle to see this item from. You'll typically see it from a 90* difference in pictures.

It almost looks like some kind of outdoor movie screen. Whatever it is, it is interesting.

[Buck]

Is it some manner of bridge?

Or does it have anything to do with the Milwaukee Art Museum?

 

[phinz]

It is nowhere near the Milwaukee Art Museum (same continent), is not a bridge or any form thereof, and I guess you could project movies on it, but it's not an outdoor movie screen and never was intended to be such.

 

[babetoo]

is it an angle on part of the beautiful opera house in assusie land.

I thought of that too! The first thing it reminded me of was something to do with airplanes. LOL

Some sort of awning or open-air shelter?

 

[Inferno]

Well, it's very large since it makes the trees and benches look tiny. I'll go a different route and guess something other than an air shelter. Is it a wall for a building, such as a restaurant, bathroom, etc...?

 

[phinz]

It is not the Sydney Opera House, an awning, an open air shelter, or a wall for a building of any sort.

In a way it has something to do with airplanes, unfortunately.

 

[Barbara L]

I'm thinking it could be some kind of memorial to commemorate an airline disaster, but I can't find anything like that.

Here's another picture of it.

Correct. You're up.

Thanks, phinz.
