[MRCA] BC-348 In Flight

[Tim]

Yep - A really good sketch, style and content... No dig intended....

Fun fact:  In the late 1970's there was an ad by Cincinnati Electronics (I
recall ?) in Aviation Week for the PRC-77.  Ad photo depicted one being
used by a soldier in "combat".  I noticed that the function switch was
"Off" so for some reason I sent them a friendly note regarding same.  They
responded with a note - and also a nice Revel model kit of a B-17 (which I
still have) as a thank you.  They then withdrew that particular ad...haha.
So someone in their marketing dept reads their mail!
