June 13Jun 13 #1 Hey y'all, I've had this for a while but finally got an F4 "Spook" path to go with it. Looks like a panel for a jammer system that was on this particular aircraft. I'm a junkie for ECM systems since I am very familiar with them. Nice to have the green tag and 350 still attached! We still use them today 😄Safety wire could be better though. Enjoy!

Guess it was used more in the Navy than the Air Force. My guess is that the "Support" patch was for AGE. Maybe supply but I doubt it.
June 13Jun 13 #6 Very cool setup & patch. Interesting that there are toggle switches on the back of the panel as well. (Also like the early C-130 photos in the background)

(Also like the early C-130 photos in the background) Thank you! I want to say the toggle switches are for either troubleshooting or setting up for the two system types. I'm not super familiar with jammers (due to the airframe I work on not having one), but that is my guess. Looks like the safety wire for system 1 is to keep it in "transmit" and system 2 has the other setting. The 130 photos are from old gunship types, this particular display case is filled with older Air Force items that I couldn't fit anywhere else.
