Enola Gay virtual cockpit
This is pretty interesting
Enola Gay / Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum
For you pilots out there, note the pilot and copilot only have throttle controls at their stations. The prop and mixture controls for each engine are back at the engineer station behind the copilot. It also looks like the attitude indicator is completely obscured by the yoke column, but that could be just how this is rendered.

I looks like you're inside a TIE Fighter.
I didn't realize there was still a flyable B-29 Superfortress. I've always been fascinated by this plane for some reason.

Thanks for this post. I have the privilege of having FiFi based in my area. Not only did I get to touch FiFi and speak to some of it's pilots last Saturday during an airshow, but it flies over my house often. We are SO LUCKY the CAF keeps these birds flying. We can't forget what the people that to fly these things in combat had to go through. .... technically that goes for everyone involved in wars to defend our country.

A year after my last post, in Oct '14 I was lucky enough to see FiFi again (the last remaining flying B-29 in the world) at its base in Texas. This time I got to climb through the interior! For topping on the cake, the very next weekend I found myself at the Smithsonian and got to see the Enola Gay for the 1st time in person! I just had to share - I thought it was so awesome to be lucky enough to experience that. If you get the chance make sure you check FiFi out on it's tour - bring $ and they give rides! Maybe one day I will do it myself... so far I was lucky enough to fly on a B-17... it was an incredible experience - even that small taste helps you realize what heros our WWII solders were. https://teamspeed.com/forums/aviatio...old-666-a.html
Who knows how long we will get to experience the sights and sounds of the 1940's.
