That would be correct! It was the hint that gave it away wasn't it?

This was part of a Vietnam re-enactment. They did a full show at Dayton and a scaled down show in Peoria. Talk to a guy (forget his name) he flew the Cobra, he was a member of the Squadron that the movie Black Hawk Down was about. Very interesting man indeed.

To be honest: I thought of a DeHavilland as I first saw the picture, I read your hint a moment later as I scrolled down.

But I didn't know what Model it was because the cockpit looks a kind of "different". My first thought was a Twin Otter but that came out wrong. A little search brought me on the right track. :)

The best parts to identify were the throttles in the upper panel and especially the notch in the glare shield. :)
