The An-30 is an aerial survey and cartography aircraft based on the An-24, with a glazed nose for a navigator and cameras in the belly. Many still fly observation missions under the Open Skies Treaty.
Fun fact
Its fully glazed 'bug-eye' nose houses a navigator and survey cameras — it was built to photograph and map the earth from altitude.
How to spot one
