[Milsurplus] Warbird radio job etc

[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

speaking of later  craft....<grin>  I  want to have a  B-52  to  house  
some of   our  ECM gear!  always  wanted a B-52  as a kid.....  and a 
corsair...  and  one of the x-15's....   the  corsair  wish  came along  later in 
life  as an artifact of  watching  baa baa  black  sheep  I suppose....   Ed

I can  think of no higher calling for WW2 avionics than to reside and be 
operated in  an authentic WW aircraft. I know others have vastly different 
views on this  subject. 

I donated some mil surplus radio gear and labor for a PV2  Harpoon that 
crashed a few years ago. I'd gladly do it again. 

That  ultra rare  Helldiver restoration is just amazing.  Hats off to  
Vultures Roost. I hope they get all the WW2 avionics needed for a complete  
suite and a skilled worker to bring them back to life. 

Too bad the US  govt. was so strict about selling post WW2 military 
aircraft. Can you imagine  a B 36 warbird? Fire up ten engines and head for the 
next airshow. Work some  guys on 3870 AM with the ARC 21 enroute. Can you 
imagine a B 58 warbird with a  working star tracker nav system? Just kidding but 
its not a completely absurd  fantasy. The Brits have a private Vulcan jet 
bomber fully operational.
