- Regarding the F-117A cockpit, the most recent issue of FineScale Modeler
- contains photographs of the interior of an F-117 cockpit. Supposedly
- representative of the standard F-117, they are more likely an early FSD craft
- as the cockpit has little resemblence to that seen in the current F-117. The
- cockpit in the mag is full of old analog gauges and no CRT's are seen, whereas
- the cockpit I saw on TV ( video taken during the gulf war) shows three large
- CRT's on the main intrument panel. One is central and above the two others
- which are on either side. I wish I had been recording that show!
