Ozzy's comments about access at airshows prompted me to dig up a few shots I've taken at US airshows and fly-ins... some have been seen here before.

Douglas flight deck; can't remember if it's a C46 or DC3. I've seen that DC3 shown in Jared's shot, but I don't think this is it. Bad quality, I know...

Flight deck of an He111, on a visit to Teterboro.

Interior of "Tante Ju", which I believe is the same Ju 52 shown by Jared...

The Ju52 flight deck.

Great shots!

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Yup, but all those modern gauges in that Ju hurt... Undecided

You wouldn't notice it as much if they hadn't ripped out the panel completely(look closely at the other old panels pictured; you'll see a lot of new stuff in the old panels- or are they new and just look older?)... possibly this Ju came to them without a good panel, and they just wanted her to fly safely, not be 100% authentic. And instrumentation is one area where I'd happily compromise by choosing reliability and ease of maintenance over aesthetics! Grin
