[Milsurplus] High & Mighty / GI electronics (and Island in theSky)

[Scott Johnson]

I was still maintaining the SCR-718 in the middle eighties on C-130's, and 
have seen DC-7's that were still in Part 121 service in the 70's that had 
APN-9's aboard.  Keeping mind that in many cases, the civilian versions had 
a military analog, such as the MN-26/ARN-7, among others.
