There are more here, I am surprised how basic the F117 cockpit is.

That's not basic, Nutty. For its time it's normal. BTW, the holes were filled with instruments when it was flying. :E :ok:

I love the prominent indicator in the SR-71 front cockpit marked "RSO EJECTED"

Comparing the Lightning cockpit with the others linked by NutLoose, my first impression is how staggeringly modern, uncluttered and efficient it looks.

Nut / Courtney

The cockpit is that of a YF-117A full-scale development article - it's not representative of the operational F-117A's cockpit.

The operational F-117 looked like this:

Ahh that's better, I thought it couldn't be full of steam driven gauges..

Especially as something like the Cessna 172 comes fitted out like this these days

The B36 Flight Engineer's position in the National Museum looks like a collection of Wurlitzers.

"Flight Engineer's position"

I think that should be "Flight Engineers' position" - apparently there were two of them. Not difficult to see why.
