Every jet in the game can use the Ctrl + Right Click keybind to enter the targeting pod system, regardless of whether or not a targeting pod is actually modeled on the jet itself. This is a notable issue with the old jets - the Buzzard, the Neophron, and the Wipeout, which do not include targeting pods in their models but are granted the tremendous reconnaissance power of thermal sights regardless.

This can be rectified by adding the Gryphon's Targeting Pod to the Pylon system and restricting the usage of the Targeting Pod system to jets with this pod mounted or with apparently integrated pods such as the Black Wasp and the Shikra.
