Cockpit restoration

[L-188]

I can remember a couple at Oshkosh. an f-4 and an OV-1 Mohawk, the f-4 was from the Minnesota Air Guard.
Not sure where the Mohawk was from. For 5 bucks you could wear a helmet and get your picture taken.

The US has a bi-annual CockpitFest of guys who build cockpits. My CAP squadron has supported the last 2 events which were held at Lancaster with the D/FW Wing of the CAF's Open Cockpit / Wheels & Wings / whatever it's called now... (it's Warbirds on Parade). They also did FlightSimCon this year as several of the cockpits local to the D/FW area are fighters which run F-16 sims (I think Falcon 4.x or LOMAC).

If you look in there for sale section there is an F-101 for sale, now that's something I wouldn't mind having.

I will upload several cockpit photos. One of them, the one at the Kansas National Guard Museum (IIRC) is included, although it is in fact, a flight simulator. I have seen the same model at two other museums, again IIRC.

I believe that the AH-1 Cobra and the F-14 cockpits, were egress simulators at some point in their lives.

The Convair cockpit was for sale. Located at a warehouse between Appleton and Oshkosh, where they sell all kinds of interesting stuff.

Schettl's!!


If you can't find it at Schettl's, you didn't really need it...

Brother Dan, that's the place. I have several photos of the place, one of them of the baseball player fishing from the "African Queen"

During the winter of 2009 (that long ago??) I almost bought an F-16 model that they had for sale there. It was easily 8-10 ft. long, but there was no way to make it fit inside my Durango, and carrying it on top, would have been nightmarish. Shipping it, was really expensive.

Anyway, I hope it found a good home.

Dewey Larson and his Dream Big Entertainment F-101 and A-7 cockpits can be seen at airshows around the country.

There is a Mohawk cockpit on a trailer at American Wings Air Museum at the Anoka Blaine, MN airport. probably the one you saw.

A guy in Chino has one of these B-25 cockpit simulators all polished.
