How about a "pop quiz" to start the day??...

I suspect Kevin may have the inside track here. In this two year old photograph, correctly identify four items... The winner may (or may not) receive a free gift from Dick B. ( I havn't yet but I keep trying) LOL.
Cheers,
Ron

Hi Ron,

Now then.....hmmmmmm.

1) Your beloved "Stars and Stripes"
2) The reflector and housing for a H.U.D.(Head Up Display for those interested)
3) One spanking Old Navitimer
and for 4) I'll go for the panel for a flight navigation system(I think the Master Zeroize switch deletes the IFP, Internal Flight Plan.)

I could do with a Havana, here's hoping :-D

Cheers

Ron.

One Breitling Navitimer

One control head to make a Comm. radio "secure"

And maybe a mount for a gyro or something??? (one I have no Idea)

still no cigar! Hahahahahahahahahaha! Ok, I'll give the answers now because I have to leave for work again. I feel REALLY bad that none of my knowledgable friends could get them all, but at least that saves my cigars. LOL.

1. The "flag" is one of my wife's throw blankets draped over the back of an
office chair.
2. The box is indeed a "control head" ( C-7213/ARC) for the KY-28/TSEC
secure radio transmission system. That means it controls a "scrambler"
for UHF and VHF transmissions air to air. It was originally in the
instrument panel of my O-2A.
3. 1994 model Old Navitimer "II".
4. CA-505 gunsite also from my O-2A. Used for aiming 2.75 in. FFAR (Folding
Fin Aerial Rockets) and SUU-11 "minigun" 7.62mm machine gun pods. Not
very accurate at all. Most FAC pilots used grease pencil markings on the
windshield for aiming. This gunsite is a simple "reflector" site with angle
adustable glass (in "mils") for depression/elevation.

Ok. I feel better now. I think I'll smoke a cigar on the way to work. ;-)
Cheers,
Ron
