None of the above, though Aaron might be said to be closest...

Here is a better picture:

I thought it looked like the Boeing 307 Stratoliner....but the new picture has a nosewheel.

Doesn't look big enough to be the XC-99 to me.

If that's the one, what are the odds that the R2Y's nose looks similiar to the B-36?

Actually, the Model 307 Stratoliner, Model 377 Stratocruiser, R2Y and XC-99 all have similar looking noses...

I thought sexually explicit material was illegal to post on the forum :O
It reminds me of several jets kinda looks like the clear glass dome on the Me-262a-2a/U1 with the glass dome. Then again the shapes remind me more of the Meteor for some reason too many guesses !
