We have two of them just 25min down the road from me. We also have the only Type I Ki-43 in the entire world, and it flys. -

No worries man, even if I dont get it until Christmas, it's cool. I have the F-4E and J-17 to learn now. I got both of those during the sale.

Check out 1:58 and 2:43. I think the smalle rectangle display works like an ILS. It has too it is the only thing that makes sense now. I'm actually getting very excited and happy as I type this. Check out 38:08, no f----ing way they had that back then? Take a look at 21:32 as well.

@Blaze1 @upyr1 And no we know the names of the equipment! SOURCE, AND CREDIT TO: http://hud607.fire.prohosting.com/uncommon/reference/usa/sead.html Wild Weasel III Improved Wild Weasel program using higher-performance aircraft and integrating lessons learned from Wild Weasel I program. One initial prototype Republic EF-105F Thunderchief conversion: F-105F-1-RE s/n 62-4416. First flight 15 January 1966. Electronic and other gear: APR-25(V) (ATI Vector 4) RHAW.
