That's an interesting picture of the XP-75 cockpit. It appears to have been "tweaked" at some point. Note the row of toggle switches just to the right of the artificial horizon caging knob. They're floating in air with the end switch shown as if it was mounted across two different surfaces at obviously differing levels.
I see that the same photo appears on the USAF National Museum website, on the uscockpits.com website and over and over again elsewhere on the net.
Btw, I'm not disputing Planegill's identification of the cockpit. David just doesn't get 'em wrong. I simply find the modification interesting and I wonder where and when it was photoshopped.
Cheers,
Glenn

ozbeowulf - I think what makes you think it may be photo shopped is caused by a shadow running from the 10 o'clock to the 4 o'clock. That's my impression, course could be up a creek whith out a paddle.

Sorry Keith, not the Poberezny P-9 'Pober' Pixie, but similar in configuration and category. The mystery aircraft is a bit older. As founder of the EAA, Paul Poberezny is probably familiar with the mystery aircraft.

As Planegill identified the XP-75 cockpit, I'll let him decide what should be done. Credit also to C2j.
