    One of the best pictures of the day ever published! You can visualize being in the cockpit with all the analog gauges – truly a time warp from modern cockpits. The night view of the city makes the rare Howard seem suspended.

    How cool is that, I want a ride! That checklist sitting on the right seat looks like it could be for a B-747.

    That is a brilliant picture…..Captures the essence of an “old school” cockpit…I can almost hear the sound of the two radial engines synched and purring in the night. Love it!
