All avionics were taken apart, cleaned, painted and look showroom new. Gunsight has been fitted with LED lighting…allowing you to keep gunsight reticle on without overheating. Refueling probe freely moves. ESCAPAC seat has been restored with the same attention to detail as the rest of the aircraft.
