Nice!
Pretty cool.
[sarcasm] Pretty cool, although I didn't realize the F-117A is a fighter [/sarcasm]
You want glassy?
...or how about this?
More glass than you can handle punk! Come join the dark side :devil_125
Very Nice! They even got swingdown HUDs!
But then I saw the F-35 cockpit...
Apparently you can play Quake while on Autopilot...

The second one maybe. The first, come on, there are still steam gauges in the middle--that's cheating.
Hosestly though, some of those older cockpits I wouldn't want to navigate across the street in, much less open water, but that's what they did. As Ali-G says, "Respek."
Hey, its a big step up from the -34. I know its no Osprey "glass" ...
Those are some bad-ass blue naugahyde seats, though!
Yeah, it's pretty interesting to see how people started to take a logical approach to cockpit design, grouping all the important stuff in a logical order (your instrument T if you will). Some of the older designs must have required quite an active scan (my glass cockpit spoils me).
As an aside, at ASO school, we had an assignment to go to the Naval Aviation Museum and critique one of the historical cockpits. Or we could critique our aircraft. It was a interesting exercise to see what you would change to pimp your ride if you could.

The upper cockpit confuses me.
I like caveman (steam) gauges better. I try using the HUD and I just confuse myself. r
