Hmm, well the two pics I've seen are very similar, but there are instrumentation changes, so unless it's the old NASA photo archive date problem again..
Unless you know something I don't..

Thank you C2j - don't know if you saw the 24B cockpit photo but it was very similar considering they were 5 yrs apart..
Sorry for the delay, Photobucket was down, here's the next one, v.easy, bit surprised it's not been done yet...apols it's a bit small, roll up, roll up.

I don't think this has been here before. You should be able to narrow it down to one particular machine, and tell us why.

Tu-160SK perhaps? The US-based Platforms International Corp. was reported to have acquired three demilitarized ex-Ukrainian Tu-160s for conversion to Tu-160SK launchers for space vehicles. There are several similarities in this photograph to the Tu-160 cockpit, the seats are I am sure the same type.

Nope, not the Tu-160.

Here's the first hint: you might be surprised to see 4 engines on it.

Yes, Buran. I was hoping for the specific one: this was OK-GLI, which had four AL-31 jet engines. It could take off under its own power and made 25 test flights during the 1980's.

Over to Evansb.
