That's a film camera strapped to the ramp. Probably shooting stock footage for the manufacturer or the military.

In Warbird Digest #6 (Kepford Corsair scheme on cover) there is an article about a MiG-17 owned by an ex-Tomcat/ Top Gun instructer. I was in the B-25 at the waist emergency hatch when they did that shoot, when it was time for the nose-on shots, Dave pulled up in the '17 and held it there rock-solid. The photog (John Fleck) said he could feel the air being sucked away from the intake... :shock: :shock: :shock:
