[NJARC] Military Radio(s) Used In B-24?

[Rich's Radios]

Joe & Al,

  I was unsure what radio equipment was used on board the aircraft and appreciate knowing what to look for. I hope to get some photos to share of the installed units. Thanks for information. Flying WX looks good for 6:00 pm today.

  Shameless Promotion Begins Here >>>
There are still seats available for this weekend on the B-24 (as of yesterday) if anyone is interested. There will also be a B-17 flying in though I don't know seating availability. Aircraft will be at Ronson Aviation at Trenton Mercer Airport. If anyone is interested in a flight you can call the flight coordinator, Jim Harley, at 978-618-6626 (cellphone).

  Further details (cost, preparation, etc.) can be found at;
