Today, we had errands – we took the dog to the groomer, shopped for groceries (in two stores), bought some DVDs and visited the Western Museum of Flight. While I was there, I got into the cockpit of an F5 fighter jet and snapped this image of the instrument panel. You can see my feet on the rudder pedals at the bottom of the picture (click to enlarge).
I copied this blurb from the museum’s website:
The Western Museum of Flight is a non-profit, educational institution dedicated to preserving and displaying aircraft history and artifacts of Southern California’s aviation heritage. The Air Museum’s educational programs give children an opportunity to see and touch the airplanes that made aviation history. The Air Museum offers an inside look at completed and in-progress aircraft restoration projects. The Western Museum of Flight’s collection includes numerous Warbirds, aircraft and target drones, piston and jet aircraft engines, aircraft components, aircraft ejection seats, World War II instruments, aircrew accessories, and an extensive model aircraft collection.
