[Milsurplus] Fwd: Those P-39s Still in the Crates...

[Peter Gottlieb]

I've seen fleet operations where equipment was tied to the specific aircraft.  
There were sometimes loaner units for when the regular gear was in the shop but 
the repaired electronics were always returned to the original aircraft.  Part of 
this was because control heads and wiring would at times be specific to options 
in the electronics box and sometimes this even prevented loaner units.  If a 
random box were replaced some function might not work right and that could be 
dangerous or at least annoying and probably result in another service call to 
try and remedy.
