What Cockpit ?
North American OV-10 Bronco.
I one photographed the front cockpit at the 1969 Paris Air Show- it was those 2 white throttle knobs which I remember!
The last time I saw one airborne was at Patrick AFB - I gather they're used for anti-marijuana crop spraying.

I once had a ride in a USAF OV10 Bronco. Excellent vis, but definately a dildo with engines. I wonder how many Bronco drivers get to old age with their teeth still in place, for there can be nothing on the planet that vibrates like a Bronco. If ever there was an apt name for a flying machine, then Bronco for the OV10 has to be it.
Pre flight briefing: If we take a bird, say to me "are you ok"; if there is no reply: EJECT!
For although it was duel control, you could not put the gear down from the back seat. Dont know if that was unique to my particular one or the type in general. To this day it strikes me as very odd.
