I´m building the Hobbyboss A-7E and would like to know some specifics about the FLIR-pod.

Any close-up pictures online? Also, I´d like to know if that big pod houses more than a FLIR. Even for late 70ies technologies the whole thing looks too big for me for being just a FLIR...

That's the Texas Instruments AN/AAR-45 LANA (Low Altitude Night Attack) pod.

There's a line or two about it in this article:

I suspect, given its use as a night/poor weather navigational aid, there likely was bit more to it than just a the FLIR aparatus.
