No nav and no expensive flight instruments without it. Ditto no ability to run the radar. Also you might want to know a bit about securing the rear cockpit straps, etc. or you could find the stick jammed from belts, harnesses, buckles and shifting seat kits. The Collings Foundation F4D (which I have worked on) has a GPS installed in the front cockpit. You would still need some help with the ground equipment for startup. Gonna lose points at the "concours d'elegance" for that restoration! Ed Rasimus Fighter Pilot (USAF-Ret) "When Thunder Rolled" Smithsonian Institution Press ISBN #1-58834-103-8
