The Antenna Farm

You can see from the airplane pictures that Phil installed a regular smorgasbord of antennas on the airplane. His plan was to offer the airplane as a test vehicle for avionic system manufacturers to install and test new equipment. To accommodate  this he installed various com and nav antennas. The new owner will probably want to remove some if not most of these. We feel this is best left to the new owner once he/she decides how they want to configure the systems. Here is what is currently installed.

The top com antenna.


  
The bottom com antenna.


The VOR antenna.




The IFF antenna?



This is a spare mount location on the belly.



The marker beacon antenna.



This one I am not sure , but there are some handheld radios that we think he was going to use to communicate with ground crews.
