[ARC5] P-47/SCR-522

[Michael A. Bittner]

I remember that control box with the 5 red pushbuttons in the SNJs we used for formation training at Saufley Field in 1955.  You had to learn to operate the thing by feel and not put your head down to look at it when the command came to change channels.  Otherwise the various aircraft in the formation would follow their natural tendency to try to occupy the same airspace at the same time.  Think about 6 cadets, all with their heads down in the cockpit, all at the same time - scary!

  SCR-522 in a restored Thunderbolt.
