This is an odd request....

While deployed to Iraq, I came across the heads-up display from an Iraqi MiG-21. (Just so I am clear, I did NOT remove this from an airworthy MiG-21. I found it lying in a junkyard north of Balad AB which is 65 klicks or so north of Baghdad)

Anyway, I would like to get it restored to display condition. It is missing the glass but other wise intact. I figure with all the varying experience with some unique airplanes, someone here may have some ideas on a source for the restoration.

Anyone...

As a side note: I also could have brought home a rocket pod that was laying near the HUD... I also found a bunch of 57mm AAA shells that came from a box stamped Jordainian Armed Forces.....

The AAA site was no longer operational courtesy of some F-15E's.

Tim,

I beleive the HUD is the same as the bomb sight used in the L-29. Most guys remove them intact when they import them.
