[simpits-tech] F-16 Eye brow

[Chris Woodul]

The original company is Grimes, The three small indicators are hidden in a
sunlight hood to make them easy to see, and on the out board side of each is
a dimming lever. Each is a mirror of the other ( except for the indication
artwork which you know from your games)
I first became aquainted with them collection my F-111 stuff as thats where
they came from, but in the F-111 both sides are AOA only  ( no refuel, NWS
indication)
One was for pilot ( LH ) and the other was for WSO (RH)
On the F-16 they are slightly beefed up with a overcenter latch top ( for
ligthbulb changing) that helps it stay inplace in the event of a canopy
loss)
Honeywell bought Grimes a while back, but they are still a GRIMES to
me...( still gettin used to calling GD Lockheed) NOT TO MENTION MCAIR
BOEING!
