What Cockpit?
It certainly looks vary similar to the revamped civvy OH10 which was the direction I went in but have drawn a blank now.
Seat recessed for parachute and prop control visible so not a jet as suggested by lack of bang-seat
That would make it a twin turboprop COIN type aircraft w. single or tandem seating à la Pucara/OH10/Charger as suggested unless anyone's developed a high performance twin trainer for some reason. I found a pic of the Charger cockpit and this certainly isn't it - though contemporary.
Penny to a pinch of the proverbial it's a largely forgotten manufacturer's one-off demonstrator and it doesn't look militarily 'aggressive' at all to me.

Looking at the engine instruments, they don't seem to be paired. Would this be some experimental aircraft with two different types of engine? Say, one turboprop and one jet.
Military/civil applications.
Single turboprop.
Not many built.
Above is a two-seat version. The accompanying caption explains the large switches were designed for operation by a pilot wearing pressure suit gloves.

Ahhh,that `Great Grob they use for towing the pressurised gliders to vast heights over the Andes...?
Thanks N,sorry ,don`t seem to be able to correct roll....
Ther you are,ball back in middle,+6_-4
Start your engine Mel; you have control.....
I had a 1.5 hr session flying N2610m Airwolf around the Boston(US) area about 20 yrs ago.It was a very neat,well thought out and comfortable aircraft,easy to fly,even if people spoke about it being made from the `Seneca parts bin`,even so,handling and aeros were good for a `slabwing`,but 300 hp helps...The one I flew came back to Poland about 18 months ago,across the `Pond`...Several videos on u-tube...

Well, with a ponderous grinding, some spitting and farting, lots of smoke and oil and each cylinder lighting up in turn this one fires up...
Well known manufacturer.
(love that gas-pedal starter!)
