For the Aviation Enthusiasts

[Oldschool Ozarker]

While browsing the internet today, I came across a link to a portion of the National Museum of the Air Force website that I haven't seen before. Under the virtual tour link, they have a collection of 61 (and counting) 360 degree panoramic views of the cockpits and other crew stations of some of the aircraft on display. The B-29 Superfortress, SR-71 Blackbird, and B-25 Mitchell are just a few that are included. The National Naval Aviation Museum also has a similar page, including 46 cockpit panoramas. I figured I'd post the links here for anyone else that would enjoy looking at them.

Thanks for posting this. I flew as a passenger on C130s, C141s and C2s. Brings back a lot of good memories and a scary one or two.

Great links, thanks for sharing.

I'm not a pilot but I'd love the old planes. Too many switches and do dads in aircraft from the 40's and on.

After graduating flight school, my wife got to pin my wings on me in a ceremony at the Naval Aviation Museum. Takes me back.

True. Now pilots just say, "Siri, lower flaps and landing gear."

What's really amazing is that all the tires are still up.

Just decided to take up building model military aircraft as a hobby. These web sites will come in real handy for color and paint scheme references.

In 1980-1982 I was on contract to the Navy Aviation Supply Office in Philadelphia, I was part of the supply team that did the cross decking of aircraft and engine parts to facilitate deployment of the carriers. I worked for Cmdr. Harris who was on the USS Pueblo when it was captured by the North Koreans. Was a very enjoyable and rewarding two year contract.....
