Aircraft, too. It seems that the warbird folks have finally figured
out that using the real radios (along with modern stuff, well hidden)
may not be a bad thing.

And speaking of MVs - dumb question from a newbie - what truck would
be used to haul an SCR-584? Or most of the other radars that had their
own trailers? Are there many of these trucks still in existence, being
that they are not very exciting?
