Salute!

Always bothered me on the A-7D displays, but the VIper HUD and instruments showed actual AoA as used by the computers. The F-101B AOA gauge was in some kinda "normalized" scale, but it had a needle for your AoA and another one that said "don't go past here". I only had one hop in the T-38 to get currency for the Viper and it had a display like the VooDoo, Remember, I did not fly the T-38 in pilot training and was in the last coupla T-33 folks.

Oh well, as long as they have that barber pole doofer, I can handle it.
