I'm trying to figure out what gunsight model was in the F-84F-10-GK. I'm thinking A-4 gunsight but I'm not 100% sure. The cockpit has the first version of the ejection seat, not the newer ejection seat that was used later in the F-84F.

The main instrument panel is the one that looks like this:

Is it an A-1C or an A-4 gunsight? I know where I can find an A-1C, but no idea about an A-4. Anyone have any leads on an A-4 gunsight if my cockpit uses the A-4?

Digging around at least I think I know the one in the pic above is an A-4 gunsight. With all the knowledge floating arond here, it still surprises me that I have to answer my own question. :wink:

My issus is still I have no definitive answer to if the Block 10-GK version of the F-84F was A-4 gunsight.
