Interesting that the Growler’s canopy does not appear to be coated with Gold. Anyone know the reason why? Perhaps a different reflective material is used, or that one isn’t required anymore?

The concerns about radiation exposure to the crew that existed when the Prowler was being developed have become moot. Canopy cost is a factor as well.
