Is that the 1943 iPad or the 1944?

They were still using 1939 iPads. They had a surplus.

Did the 1940+ iPad have GPS?

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

No but I think it could connect to your sextant

It is an after market mod.

They made the original ships and vehicles for Star Wars by taking existing model kits and mix and matching parts (aka kitbashing). This part of the Millennium Falcon model likely came from a B-29 or similar model set.

Greenhouse cockpits predate the B-29 by many years. The He-111 has it for example.
