Pretty cool place, there was a bunch of hands on for the kiddies, even a simulator although it needs help BIG TIME. Here are a few picks...The last two were a pleasant surprise.

Can you tell me what cockpit this is:






I need a telephoto:

I lived near there for years, and never knew about the museum , great SU-31.

Is the cockpit a Blackhawk :-/

Hmmm, thats a tough one. Osprey or Blackhawk?

[JSpahn]

Osprey is the winner, its in sad condition though :

Nice! I have been inside a new Air Force version, so it had some similarities. I still wasnt 100% sure tho! lol. The one they have looks like an early flight test model or something.

[JSpahn]

Yep a prototype, I think it was number 3 or 13 something like that

wow, i expected so much more from an osprey cockpit, I was about to guess UH-1 Huey lol i imagine they have updated the current cockpits of the osprey though right?  I mean, if im gonna be riding in the back of these things, it had better be looking a bit more modern than that up in the cockpit!!!!  haha  Semper Fi!!

You kidding, first to go, last to know last to get updated equipment. Sad but true, I never envied the Marines. Damn Navy soaking up the whole budget.

Ive been lucky enough to ride a Chinook 8-), of course that was into Iraq

P.S.  Army
