A crane?  A Heron?


Roughly the same bird.  Long legs, long neck, ball like body.  Stand in water and poke fish.

At least Mig-21 was capable of spraying alcohol on the windshield. Alcohol came from the same tank which supplied alcohol for radar as coolant.

Parties were numerous and good until Finnish Air Force started using nondrinkable alcohol....

Friend used to drive a truck between StPetersburg/Russia and Helsinki; They did use 96% alcohol as an antifreeze 'cause it was cheaper in Russia than genuine antifreeze liquids.
Once when he came back the customs officer at border did pour bottle of Sinol (denatured alc; poisonous) into his truck's  windshield washer's tank and said "Just wanted to be sure you don't run out of water; quite crappy weather" :D
