Hi,
I want to build a panel for the Mc Donnell MD220 and I search pictures of it.
I only find a video on the net showing the cockpit but it's not very usable for this purpose.
If someone has pictures even in low resolution, that could help me a lot.
Thanks in advance
Philippe

Phillipe,
Here's the address for the 2004 version. You may be able to glean something from it.

It its any help, the last location I know of for the ONE AND ONLY sample of this aircraft was in Amarillo, TX. Originally given to a nursery school in Santa Monica by McDonnell Douglas after they lost the C140 contract, it was supposed to never fly again. A wheat farmer from Nebraska discovered it and purchased it from the nursery school, vacummed over 3000 pounds of dirt and sand from it, and then flew it, out of license and without FAA sanction, to Deer Valley Airpark in Phoenix. The aircraft was later sold and flown, again without FAA blessing, to Albquerque NM. After a number of years setting on the ramp it was sold again and taken to Amarillo. Reportedly by persons who have flown the aircraft said it flew very well. Hope this helps. Please let me know if you develop a sim;

Thank you all!
I have build a panel inspired by a (bad) video where the cockpit is partially visible.
So, the result looks more or less at what it was. I'm not 100% satisfied but it works fine. I will post it within a few days.
Thanks again
