What Cockpit?

[sycamore]

Back seat of the Hustler...?

[meleagertoo]

Friendly? Darned uncomfortable I'd say!
Sycamore, sorry, no.

[CoodaShooda]

Uncomfortable - but you can go a long way in a short time. 7 league boots spring to mind.

[UV]

Is it a plane? Is it a bird?
Is it either?

[Asturias56]

Not an RA-5C either

But it might be a Mercury space craft????

[meleagertoo]

Does "might be" qualify as a bid?
I guess so!

Indeed it is Freedom 7, Glenn's Mercury ride.

Asturias has control.

[Asturias56]

Only got it because we visited Cape Canaveral just before CV-19! How those guys managed in those early multi-crewed capsules is way beyond me. So claustrophobic

Try this.

[kenparry]

B-36 possibly?

[Asturias56]

Big - but not THAT big..............

[sycamore]

Might be a `Bear`...?

[Asturias56]

We are getting closer................

[sycamore]

Change of uniform..? Tu-114..?

[Asturias56]

Yes indeed - The beast from the East.......... I was surprised to read that they had a very good safety record - only one fatal accident and that occurred on the ground. But flying 10,000 km trips soon ran up the hours and they were all scrapped mid 70's I think. Not sure if you paid extra for the nose seat..............

[sycamore]

As `Ast56` hasn`t responded with a declaration,I will,but it`ll have to be `OPEN HOUSE....

[bafanguy]

Where are the throttles in that TU-114 cockpit ?

[Furniture Saver]

They’re outboard of the pilots’ seats, on a shelf.

[Asturias56]

"As `Ast56` hasn`t responded with a declaration"

Sorry I though the words "Yes indeed -" were OK - and I posted a picture of the aircraft..................

[sycamore]

Sorrrreeeeee....!

Ah so...that may explain the odd configuration of the yokes.

The rudder pedals look a bit odd too. Are they for pilots who walk like a duck?
