I used to work on a 727 flight simulator that used a
Varian 620 to generate the visuals. The display was
capable of addressing 1024 points of light and that's how
the runways and airport outline were drawn. Pretty neat
stuff. Here's some pics of the system that ran the sim:

Was that a McDonnell Vital system? That's where the Varian
I had came from. Vital II had stroke writing and variable
beam width, ideal for painting the runway, stripes, numbers,
etc.
Yeah, I think the rack cabinet I have matches the one in
your photo.
