[MRCA] aeronautical mobile possible today

[comcast]

gang

on Wednesday went to Mcguire on a KC 135 flight. set near a little window couldn't see much except clouds sky and the wing. on the return landing I had a chance to sit in the backup pilot seat.

i checked out the navigators console could only make out a HF Keyfill panel. could not see an HF control box. so no chance to go on HF.
i did see an old pencil sharpener on the navigators table and a Sextant on the ceiling of the cockpit. on the table was also a Sony Toughbook CF 19 with a GPS and Aviation map

on the exterior of the 135 was a long wire from the cockpit area to the tail fin
