What Cockpit ?

[forget]

Looks like this ..............

[BEagle]

And both the Tu-95 and Tu-142 were based on this!

[forget]

Tarnished is still asleep in Fort Worth so here's a thing of beauty to be going on with.

[BEagle]

Beriev Be-200

And yes, a thing of beauty indeed!

[forget]

Old Georgy Beriev must be grinning in his grave. He was up there with the best!

[BEagle]

OK - here's one to keep you going until Tarnished wakes up!

[forget]

TU-144.

[BEagle]

Indeed!

Ugly looking thing, compared to Concorde.

Fuel to the fire:

This is a TU95 cockpit from a russian source:


..and whilst there are serveral variants, a TU142 is one such variant.

[forget]

TU-142. Does that mean I get two goes

Here...............

Whatever it is, the leather seat pack may look very nice, but would you want to pass that yoke in an ejection situation? Looks like some very badly hurt legs looking for a time and place to me.

[forget]

Well I know of at least one guy who ejected - and he didn't end up limping.

PS

Modified? F104 Starfighter

[forget]

Not a Starfighter - but (sort of) related.

To add to the confusion, cockpit of a Tu-95MR:

Cockpit Internal Overview
Taken from U-2R 80-1088, this overview of the instrument panels provides plenty of information regarding the painting of the cockpit. Note the cockpit is Dark Gull Gray (F.S.36231) with black instruments.


Ejection Seat
Also taken from U-2R 80-1088, this picture provides color reference for the U-2 ejection seat. The basic seat is black. The lower cushion appears to be black leather. The rear cushion is a green/gray nylon looking material with silver/gray harnesses and a red headrest.
