Hey folks, I was wondering if anyone had some detailed cockpit photos of the Cessna T-37 or A-37. I have been flying FSX again lately and the version of the plane I have has a F-104 panel. :roll:

How soon do you need such information? I might be able to swing by a place that has an ex-Air Force simulator.

Whenever really. I'm just bored and every time I fly that T-37 I have an uncontrollable urge to make the panel more accurate. (you know at least have a 2 engine panel)

If I get a chance I'll swing by.

These guys sell a very detailed poster-sized image of the Tweet cockpit (as well as some other airplanes):

PaperTrainer.com

It's not a photo, but if you're just looking for cockpit details, it might be useful.

We have an A-37b dragonfly but I noticed that the T-37 panel is somewhat different. There isnt a gear handle on the copilots side of the cockpit of the dragonfly.

Looks much better than the stock T-37 panel....which is possibly the worst IFR panel ever designed!

Thanks Peter
Those pics kept me from having to walk up to the big hangar to take some pics of the dragonfly.
Thank you
Regards
Mike
