Can't speak for the console pic, but the view out the window looks a lot more like a C-40
The aircraft with the RA on the tail is a T43. It's based out of Randolph AFB and is the Air forces trainer for KC135 pilots.

A friend of mine is a USAF Capt flying C-17s. Currently overseas somewhere. His pictures

Actually the T-43 is used to train all the heavy AF navs (P3 NFOs flew in it as well when they went through Randolph). Basically 12 of those flying 1970s simulators (2B47 for the NFO types) with barely functional radar and nav equipment. They'll be phased out when the AF moves all nav/EW training to Pensacola next year; the first 2 have already been sent to the boneyard.
They worked great in 1984....and you couldn't do cel nav in the sim.
Sorry for speaking out of turn, I've worked around them and know it's a T-43. Sorry I had the rest of the info wrong.
You'd expect one to know more about them after seeing them 5 days a week for 8 years.
I'll go back to my corner and shut up now.
Here is a link to a cockpit views of various airplanes, just click on the picture of the plane that you would like to see.

My favorite is the MB-2, nothing says classy like wood-trim and a steering wheel.

This one's for you "brownshoe". CVW-8 Weapons Det @ NAS Roosevelt Roads, December, 1978.
Thanks Zip, it brings back memories, those practice bombs look like MK-76's.
BTW, 1978? I'd been out for a while.
In 1978 I was building runways at Newport News, Andrews, and Dulles as well as pissing off drivers while we widened 495 and disrupted traffic while building the Metro system.

VA-174 on the cat! I remember when they were VF-174 and flew F-8's.
They were neighbors in hangar 67 at Cecil.

What I wouldn't give to have been born a generation earlier and given a chance to take that VIGI off the cat. Beautiful.
