Altho i do not collect the coldwar aircraft equipment, or the coldwar FM ground
radios, i enjoy much reading you guys' lists, usage information, and comments
on this gear. Please don't anyone restrain themselves from posting for fear of
boring someone! There are titles to give a clue, a delete key, and above all, a 
list like this, contrary to a very few opinions, is not a diversion for entertainment 
consumers.

Also, i was thinking, in a few generations, some of those models built in the tens
of thousands, will be down to a handful of examples remaining.
