Depends which one you saw..
The original test planes had no full cockpit avionics, no glass.
Looked very dated.
When they flew it to the museum, it was first mediablasted since the coating was secret , a very toxic process for those doing the work.. hence toxic death rattle can in flight to the museum where it was to be repainted..
And that one was the first to go to museum.. the others had a different cockpit with MFD's
Everything was taken from F16 or F15 inventory and being a black project, booked as regular F16/F15 spare parts
