Fighting Falcon
The fob of this item contains a photograph of an F-16 aircraft in flight. Overlaying this is an LCD shutter driven by a photocell-powered circuit which switches the shutter on and off with a period of about 2 seconds; The effect is a blinking image of the aircraft when light shines on the key fob, thereby drawing attention to the image.
This item was a gift from Dave Caney (at the Fort Worth Office of BAE Systems) to Martin Redfern on his retirement from BAE Systems at Rochester in 2009, Martin having worked on various F-16 HUD designs during his career.
This item is now donated to the RAA for safe keeping.
