What Cockpit?
very gracious Bear - I42 owes you a beer................
I would be delighted to buy SLB a beer, next time he is in Calgary, but in the meantime, since I have nothing to post, I'll let SLB take over as the Handling Pilot.
I saw a Mig-17 flying at Oshkosh three years ago and marveled at the freedom that the FAA provides for rich boys and their toys. Where else could you see a privately registered Mig-17 flying around, low-level, after dark, with a ten-foot flame coming out of the jet pipe?

I42 I will take on that beer but you can wait putting it cold as I have never visited Canada before and I doubt if I would visit for my job ever.
Back from sports I can post the following:
or should I post this under the “what engine” or the “which person” thread?

I shamefully admit I have not yet visited the Rijks myself.
We should have a look at the Koolhoven together!
Send me a PM anytime you firm up your ambitions.

I think someone should inform the Mods - are these the sort of people they want if they are looking to attract advertisers??????

Everyone to their own tastes!
You really SHOULD visit Ferrara - it's quiet, you can get around on push-bike, there is the usual assortment of castles and art galleries and of course, amazing food. I spend as much time as I can there .
I have visited the Rijksmuseum many times - most recently a special trip to see the Rembrandt Exhibition - ALL the Rembrandts they own - pictures, sketches, prints - truly amazing.
Calgary - been there as well - nice place but not sure I could take the weather every winter.....................
back on thread looks like ea200 is on the right lines

Gamera II human-powered helicopter??
Weird!!! - this is more conventional

No - something a bit larger................
It is a VC-10 - the biggest cockpit I've ever seen - you could hold a barn dance in it - I presume the space was for the Butler and other staff?
