Now we are getting close! The WX-2E designation is not correct...make that one right and you are home.
The extra credit HooRah is still available for the nick name though, but you can win without it.

WV-2E is the correct designation, yes, my internet was down, but the slang term yet eludes me. Radar was an AN/APS-70. Guys feel free to jump in. Brat

Colonel
is the nick warning star?
You got it! It is in fact the WV-2E, EC-121L. Only the one was built and it was the test platform for many of the sytems later installed on the E-3 Sentry. The WF/E-1 Tracer was the forerunner of the E-2 Hawkeye.
Your turn noww Airforce Brat. Thanks!
Warning Star was the name I was looking for, though it too was applied to other EC-121 aircraft. Like Willie Victor. So Hoorah for you Kwaigonegin!.
Here is a rare aircraft. What country produced it, what year was it officially announced, and what was it's designation?Image:

Thanks to the Headmaster for helping me with the pix. Yes siege it is the 1.42/1.44/MFI Tech Demonstrator and Flatpak is the Nato designator for the 1.44, Foxglove for the 1.42. The 1.42 was in response to the US ATF, and after several years developement was declared the follow on aircraft to the Su-27 in 1986. The 1.44 was the test airframes, which my info say there were two, the first taxi test in 1994, but due to money woes they languished until officially introduced in 1999. First flight was 29/Feb/2000, and at least two additional flights in 2001. Powered by a pair of Saturn AL-41F engines of 40,000 lbs thrust. The talk is the engines were returned to Saturn because of inability to pay. This aircraft was earlier disignated as the Mig 35, but that designation was withdrawn. My sincere apologies for the Mig 21 tech demonstrator with the canards and inlets it was likely a testbed for the testbed. This was the aircraft I had mistakenly believed was a delta winged concept for Pak Fa. The internet is a far superior source for cutting edge tech, the poor old Air Force magazine often being discarded like so much old rubbish by clean little women. Until the ice storm/thunder storm and the current goes off!
Siege , your in, I hadn't noticed the 21 with Canards and revised inlets in the stack, its likely a tech demo, for the tech demo.
