And The Mysterious Orange "Thingie" From Yesterday's Contest Is...

It is the Nitrogen Generating Unit on a Boeing 757.

In the photos above are the main components of a Nitrogen Generating System designed to introduce inert gas into fuel tanks to prevent vapors from igniting. 

See, now that wasn't hard, was it?

Besides, do you really think I was going to share MissTWA with anyone?

Oops, did I say that? Strike that!!
