What Cockpit?
A very interesting and complex aircraft - what frightened me was reading once about an F-11 test pilot who was asked if it was possible to land one with the wings swept back (at around 200kt)
"Sure" he said " just like every landing in a B-58....."

The plane is white as a Ghost but I yet have find any connection to the B-2 Spirit

looking at the trim wheels it looks very industrial - hardly FBW I think.......................
It sort of vaguely reminds me of an Atlantic or an F-27 - it's neither but I'm thinking something substantial...........

Dook, as a non-pilot myself, what are the clues that make it Dart powered as opposed to any other contemporary turboprop? There seems a lot of engine related levers compared to a pure jet or even modern turboprop.
does look like a YS-11...............
we won't look.....................

Too late me thinks.
I got the photo so you couldn't see the name on the control column, but missed the other one.
Have this one on me.
I remember a demo of one of these in the '80s. Amazing that wouldn't stall, just kept dipping the nose.
