A spectacular and amazing view Walter. Stellar clarity and a perfect choice for black and while. A very complex environment highlighting the technology and knowledge required to fly this aircraft. Totally fantastic!!! VVV

The fisheye works a real treat in this very cool and detailed shot. Those dials and switches are amazing. V

An overwhelming amount of buttons and gauges!! A perfect B&W Walter V

Wow! That is dizzying. V

Wow - no wonder they had a large flight crew!

It would take some time and effort to learn how to operate such a complicated series of dials... wonderful capture! v

Graeme		10-Sep-2019 10:08
What an amazing cockpit. With so many switches and dials, how do you remember them all!! V

laine		10-Sep-2019 08:37
You would need a good memory I figure :) Nice capture. V

Ton, Ben & Rob Nagtegaal		10-Sep-2019 06:53
Beautiful capture of the cockpit, looks like very complex. V

John Vass		10-Sep-2019 03:47
This is amazing! Great in B&W but everything already was black or white! Well shot Walter! V I think they put the oil gauge in the wrong place... ;-)

The fisheye is perfect for this, great photo. Looks like the crew would be busy.

Amazing. I wonder whether psychologists would agree that this is the best way of presenting information. Very well photographed. V

One of my favorite classic airliners. It used B-29 wing s and tail surfaces, upgraded engines. Northwest and Pan-Am were the two domestic carriers that used this equipment. Since Northwest’s home base was Minneapolis I used to see these come and go often. A stunning shot, Walter!

Whoa, that's a lot of gauges and controls. Great looking in black and white. V

Excellent wide view of the crowded cockpit. V

Oh my, I would be totally overwhelmed to be there! Wow!

Jean D		09-Sep-2019 21:47
WOW! Nice capture of this very complex cockpit and definitely high tech. ~V

Looks good in B+W, but I see it in colors, as a jigsaw puzzle of 2000 pieces!

globalgadabout		09-Sep-2019 21:02
densely packed with gear indeed...the all encompassing view is a knockout...V

Martin Lamoon		09-Sep-2019 20:55
Excellent capture in the cockpit, so much electronics. v

Dan Greenberg		09-Sep-2019 20:46
That is phenomenal! So many gauges and controls. Awesome in B&W. Do you have an image of the outside of the plane? ~BV~

Jeff B.		09-Sep-2019 19:56
Intimidating! Great capture! V

Jim Coffman		09-Sep-2019 19:24
It would be a lot for one man to try and fly this plane!!!
