The fake rockets and missile launchers are all easily and quickly removed or attached and can also house additional pyrotechnic smoke and gerb effects. The outboard wing-tip pyro bracket assemblies hold larger pyrotechnic effects and fireworks for the night aerial pyro-laser show. The hardpoint mounting brackets under the wings are genuine Cessna L-19 Bird Dog rocket launching brackets. The brackets serve multiple roles, for example during a night aerial pyro-laser show, they would normally carry stage lighting and laser equipment. Four powerful RGB LED laser effects projectors will be mounted under the wings for the show. These are the same type of laser systems that are commonly seen at music festivals. Other uses of the brackets include carrying bicycles, cargo pods or external fuel tanks etc. The original dual exhaust smoke system will be used to generate smoke for the display.

The additional cockpit control systems includes a multi channel pyrotechnics control panel, DMX lighting controler and a laptop PC for laser control. A large auxiliary battery and 110vac power inverter will be installed to supply electrical power for the lasers and stage lighting. Additional aircraft landing and flood lights are also being installed.

Equipment and flight testing is currently underway. Photos and info will be updated as this project progresses.
