I have quite a few, but do yourself a favor and go to airliners.net, and do a search under "cockpits."Some of them are amzing, especially the older Russian ones.
And there are many, many photos to look at... ;D

I'd take a look at the Avro Vulcan, complicated and cramped :o

Ya, been in the simulator (not flown in it, but stood in it).  It looks pretty darn complex.

If you want to try some fun, try taking the photo quiz at http://www.airliners.net/ and set the quiz for cockpits and see how many you get correct.

The An-124 looks pretty simple compared to even the C-130.  :-?

The Space Shuttle however... get in the cockpit and prepare to fall to the ground spinning in circles flopping like a fish out of water. Although thats pretty simple once you get the checklist for it too...  :-?

the an124 is mostly not the cockpit. its all the operators stuff.

i agree with ozzy the vulcan is just like OMG is that all necessary?

the space shuttle buttons and switches are mainly just a game for the astronauts when they get bored in the studio space
