This guy got into an argument about the P-51 flight model that got so deep, he got the bends. Now he is in a decompression chamber.

I honestly can’t tell if this is a glider, a helicopter or a blimp. Or which way is forward.  Or why the guy is lying down like that

Twin engine (Lycoming IO-540) amphibian. Wiki says the first flight was in 1991 - only two built. Dunno why the guy is doing that, probably just to illustrate the enormous space - aft.
Meanwhile, at the front...

Looks very much like a Tu-144 cockpit.
It's a bit odd that the control colums have slightly less buttons than usual and the addon panel in the center/top is so small, but nevertheless, it should be a Tu-144.

Thanks Flanker.
Time for something easier.

Please name which the navigator of the aircraft on this photo has been in service on during the first 5 months flying time.
Alternatively, tell the name of his daughter's dog:
