| I believe that is the only publicy released shot of the Blk 60's interior. You'll be hard pressed to find any others, especially energized like that. |

| The photo looks like the cockpit I where I performed preflight checks almost everyday for 4 years! the Left display shows an ASARS image, the right display shows a radar search display and the center disply shows a navigation screen over the Stores Management page. The hud display is probably photo shopped, I don't remember seing a turn display very often on t he ground!! It was a very easy aircraft to run up. Pretty much, each system is initiated by a single switch. |

But didn't you guys know the Blk 60 has an optional UCAV flight control system and this shot was taken on a flight with the background photoshopped out for security reasons?

Especially not while the ADI shows straight and level!

| There is no "ADI" in the block 60 as in other versions, I think you're referring to the Standby Flight Intrument display in the lower center; what was called a Whiskey compass |

| Just browseing this morning, Scorpion, UCAV system in a Block 60? What's that, I never saw one when I worked on them. There was space for future upgrades from Helmet mounted cueing system, but as far as I know, it wasn't installed in the fleet yet. |

As a Block 60 flight chief at the 162nd FW I can verify that the UAE and the ANG are very protective of any detailed photos being taken of thier jets. Some high ranking people get very excited when anyone with a camera gets near these jets! |

Well that was me that tried to get in to the sim and I didn't even have a camera! (but I used to have a high security clearance). I talked to a couple of people I knew but if ya didn't have prior approval or a clearance to get in, it wasn't gonna happen. Just doin' their jobs tho, so I couldn't complain.  |

| Hm, they didn't seem to mind too much at Holloman last fall... although apparently it was a Lockheed rather than UAE operation, for various electronics testing. Lots of bumps on that airplane... |
