Fly-in part 4 (more from NAS Wildwood)

This MiG-15 is marked as "operational"... wonder if and when it's flown out of here...






The "office" of the MiG. Hard to see, but there is a placard in Chinese on the top right of the panel...




Another cockpit; this time a Skyhawk.





Who can guess what cockpit this is?






An Aeronca in USAAF trainer colors takes shade under the wing of a Caribou...

The cockpit almost looks like one of those mechanical
trainers that the pilots used for flying by the gauges.
( I'm having brain fade and can't remember the correct
 term )  If it is i was in one at NAS Willow Grove many,
many years ago.

Very nice indeed. Certainly some rare stuff there.

You mean the Link Trainer? Could be I suppose but it's nothing like the one we had at Air Cadets. Ours was far more basic than that with a proper joystick & the standard RAF panel layout. It looks like a single-seater of some kind & the yoke (or spectacle as we called them) is throwing me.

It is in fact a Link trainer, or some derivitave: no mock wings or tail, and no window for a projected "sim" image. Probably strictly for IFR training.
