Keep in mind, this is a nearly 30 year old helo at this point. I highly doubt there are any OPSEC issues associated with the instrument panel layout of this aircraft. I'm simply curious about how the FLIR display was integrated with instrument panel. I've heard some early civil MD500's with T-panels had a FLIR added, I'd settle for pics of those helos.

Also, for whatever it's worth, it's not a 160th aircraft, it's assigned to a more photo-shy "civilian" unit, at the time it carried registration N1111U.
