That was an unexpected shot, but quite nice! This F-16 is a testbed for the new Özgür project, a modernization program of the TurAF F-16C Block 30 aircraft. The program consists in implementing new avionics and some equipments including a radar made in Turkiye to the aircraft. The livery is quite interesting in my opinion.

Guests from the Missouri Pacific Historical Society were provided a guided tour of the Midwest Locomotive Services facilities as part of the annual convention held in Kansas City this year.
This unit is one of the SD60 demonstrators, was once known as EMD 3 and was later equipped with HTC-R Trucks for testing that design in its infancy. It was built in 6-1984, builder and frame number 836054-3. After it and its companion Oakways were purged from the BNSF roster in 2009, it became GMTX 9041, taking the place of the original 9041, which was retained by EMD as a testbed unit.
It later became GMTX 9000 as part of a joint lease between the Providence & Worcester/Vermont Rail System starting in 2014, and wears a unique variant of the GATX paint scheme today. It spent a few more recent years leased to the NYSW and RJ Corman.

Jaguar XK 120. The XK120 was launched in open two-seater or (US) roadster form at the 1948 London Motor Show as a testbed and show car for the new Jaguar XK engine designed by Jaguar Chief Engineer William Heynes.
Conrail SD60M 5571 was sitting at CP Wye in Rockville waiting on permission into Enola yard in 1993.
Trailing the pair of blue EMDs was EMD SD60MAC 9503 undergoing evaluation of the new AC traction. Painted in a quasi-Burlington Northern paint scheme, the SD60MAC was a testbed that led to hoards of AC powered SD70MACs for BN and a few other roads, but only 15 for Conrail.
Conrail bought the only SD80MACs produced and placed additional orders for SD80MACs, however due to the pending takeover by Norfolk Southern and CSX the order was changed. CSX opted out of the SD80MAC order in favor of SD70MAC's built to CSX specifications.
The SD60MACs were returned to EMD and used for testing.
iss067e174420 (July 2, 2022) --- The Nanoracks Bishop Airlock is pictured in the grips of the Canadarm2 robotic arm as it is positioned away from the International Space Station. The commercial platform was being maneuvered prior to jettisoning a trash container for a fiery, but safe disposal above Earth's atmosphere. Bishop is a multi-faceted airlock attached to the Tranquility module used not only to discard trash, but also to host research payloads, deploy satellites, and serve as a testbed for a variety of space technologies. At right, the Canadarm2 is attached to the U.S. Destiny laboratory module as ground controllers remotely maneuver the robotic arm.

The Western New York & Pennsylvania Railroad is a very forgiving railroad in terms of railfan photography. The wide variety of locations, trains and motive power surely offers anyone a good shot in any weather.
However, today was a day where pure sun was much desired.
NS 8520 is an AC44C6CF - And as of now it is one of a kind. CAF USA has provided the electronics as well as AC traction motors for this "testbed". And NS has sent it to the WNYP for testing.
Today was its first trip pulling a revenue freight train down the WNYP portion of the Buffalo Line. And while earlier attempts for sun were crushed. At Port A. I finally got the desired shot.
USS Texas (BB-35) is a museum ship and former United States Navy New York-class battleship. She was launched on 18 May 1912 and commissioned on 12 March 1914.
Texas saw action in Mexican waters following the "Tampico Incident" and made numerous sorties into the North Sea during World War I. In World War II, Texas escorted war convoys across the Atlantic and later shelled Axis-held beaches for the North African campaign and the Normandy Landings before being transferred to the Pacific Theater late in 1944 to provide naval gunfire support during the Battles of Iwo Jima and Okinawa. Texas was decommissioned in 1948, having earned a total of five battle stars for service in World War II. It is a (presently closed) museum ship near Houston, Texas.
Texas was also a technological testbed: the first US battleship to mount anti-aircraft guns, the first US ship to control gunfire with directors and range-keepers, the first US battleship to launch an aircraft, and one of the first US Navy ships to receive production radar.
Texas was the first US battleship to become a permanent museum ship, the first battleship declared to be a US National Historic Landmark, and is the only remaining World War I era dreadnought battleship. She is also one of the eight remaining ships and the only remaining capital ship to have served in both World Wars.

Under a Spanish Experimental registration, Airbus Defence's Airbus A400M EC-400 is seen making a smoky touch-down at RAF Fairford after a spirited performance at the yearly RIAT. This airframe was originally destined for service with the Royal Air Force, and had even been designated it's own registration (ZM421) before being handed over to Airbus as a flying testbed. 14/07/2018.

RFA PROTEUS (K60) on the River Mersey after departing Cammell Laird ship yard on March 12, 2024.
RFA PROTEUS is a Multi Role Ocean Surveillance Ship (MROSS) which can function as a platform for Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicles (ROUVs) and a testbed for new specialist capabilities, required for monitoring waters important to UK interests.
Acquired in 2023, the ship entered drydock at Cammell Laird for modification andformally entered service in October 2023.
The ship was formerly named MV TOPAZ TANGAROA in 2017–2022, and was used as a platform supply vessel operated by P&O Maritime Logistics.
The vessel was refitted after being sold to the U.K. Ministry of Defence in January 2023.
She was built jointly between Vard Brattvaag, Norway and Tulcea shipyard in Romania and weighs 6,133 GRT. Maximum speed is 14 knots.

The Melody is a testbed for some of the Asian Coalition's newer technology; the vessel tours the Border Worlds as a freelancer and doesn't shy away from pursuits, blockade running or straight up combat. Every galactic quarter, the Coalition arranges for this combat data to be downloaded at Ravensmere. This information goes to on inform future technology development for the broader Coalition Navy, whilst these appointments might lead to upgrades for the ship itself.
