Analog Paradise

Boeing C-97 Stratofreighter cockpit

I've got nothing to say, the title says it all. The Boeing C-97 Stratofreighter first flew in 1947. This one is in a museum in Spain.

  1. I wonder how the pilot and copilot get to their seats?

  2. Appraently, they could walk right in. https://www.flight-manuals-online.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/C97-cockpit.jpg

  3. Apparently the Stratofreighter was a different layout, different seats, pilot seat up against the left wall/windows and much of the analog instrument layout is not there. Maybe in the freighter they moved everything forward to make more cargo room.
