[ARC5] ARC-5 VHF in USAF Aircraft

[Michael A. Bittner]

Whatsa Bed Check Charlie?

What kinda gun or guns did the T-6s have.

During my Navy air-to-air gunnery training in 1955, our SNJs had a single Browning 30 cal. firing through the propeller and some kind of 5 or 6 channel VHF transceiver.  I remember the control box with red channel pushbuttons.

  I think we had T-6s and C-45s in Korea that had ARC-5 VHF units. I remember 
  seeing them in the radio shop.

  We used T-6s for FAC and our wing CO shot down a Bed Check Charlie with a 
  T-6.
