Here's one for all the sleuths out there.

 

This is obviously an older photo. The hint is, it's aviation related, and also connected to a well known bit of history.

The guy on the left looks a bit like a younger Steven Segal, and they're obviously on a ship. So... black & white image from "Under Siege", which involved aircraft when an F-18 was shot down by the CWIS.

 

.... but in reality, probably the Russian men of the 32nd Guards Regiment in Cuba, 1963. Damn Google image search!

Looks like Google gets the cigar, Marty. I started researching the 32GIAP after acquiring a Cuban flight suit from a Ukrainian. The pilots and support crew were under orders to wear civvies on the trip over and while off duty in Cuba. On duty, they mainly wore Cuban gear.

 

Here's the ship.
