What's some of the unusual uses for avionics you've heard of?
Hoho:
1) On long XCs in the T33 tuning to the 'bottom' on the VOR would
yield a commercial FM radio station and music, etc. (ISTR that was
108.3mhz)
2) The F102A's upper electronics bay would hold two adults with the
bay door shut so the space was utilized a lot on flights from Canada
to the US for other (ahem) freight - like eight cases . . . I
understand the same opportunity existed in the F89 series, accessed
from a panel above and between the engine exhausts, although this,
strictly speaking, wasn't an electronics bay.
