ASA-66 display, the Navy's version of a moving map...lol a moving map with Commodore 64 graphics...

Description
The AN/ASA-66 is a multipurpose cockpit display for the P-3C Orion maritime patrol aircraft. A 9 in (23 cm) diameter CRT provides pilot and co-pilot with real-time presentation of tactical sonar situations. Graphic and alphanumeric data are presented on the high-brightness and contrast screen for viewing in either high ambient or controlled lighting conditions. The display is designed to be driven from a remote display generator to provide analogue deflection and video drive from computer data or direct from aircraft sensors.
 
I've seen a couple birds at around 12k coming into various terminal areas.

I'm not paying much attention above 18 though. . .lol

No that was a USN plane that someone emailed the pics to me of. We replace the ASA 66 scope with our Ferry Kit.

Affirm, the crew even discussed having no pilot in the left seat for landing in case the windshield failed completely.
