Title: Cockpit-Fest 2008
Post by: mfg495 on June 14, 2008, 11:50:54 PM

Here are some shots I took at Cockpit-Fest 2008 at Newark Air Museum, this is an annual display of visiting cockpits from around the country.

You have full access to the cockpits, even getting the chance to sit in them  :-cool
