    Description

    The EVS Tracking Control Keyboard was part of the Electro-Optical Viewing System in the earlier models of B-52. It was the controller that guided the sophisticated camera system in the B-52. This is a very rare collectable from an aircraft the has been the backbone of the US Air Force bombing program since the early 1950s. With the next round of upgrade planned for the venerable B-52 it is expected to remain in service until at least the early 2050's. This will make the Stratofortress the first and only bomber to remain in service for over 100 years. For years the safety of our nation depended upon B-52s that where always in the air ready to protect our nation. This is the ONLY item like this that I have - When it is gone, I am unaware of anyplace else that sells the EVS Tracking Control Keyboard!
    Note: This item will cost me about to ship, so if you can arrange for local pickup in Toquerville, UT, then I can lower the price by
