Hi,
I found these 360 degree shots on http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/Visit/ ... it360.aspx
Here are T-6D front and rear cockpits:

The rest of the planes are cool to explore too.

Re: Virtual cockpit tour - 360 degree view
This one is rather quite interesting as it is an early T-6 "Mosquito" that actually served on the front lines in Korea from 1950-1952, as part of the 6147th Tactical Air Control Group - a true combat survivor. It was later "gifted" to the ROKAF, which operated it for a while and then put it on static display. It remained in Korea until 1995, when the USAF Museum acquired it. Fully restored, the aircraft has been on display since I believe 2001. It is painted today in the same markings it had while in operation in Korea. This one, despite going to Korea, never had the "T-6G" treatment, and remains in large-part a stock AT-6D. Most of the radios, as you can see around the front and rear cockpit, are all post-WWII/1950's-era. It has bomb/drop tank arming and release controls in the front cockpit on the lower left (the red and yellow knob levers, marked "A" and "R"). Although I don't see it anywhere, the aircraft would have had to have had a rocket-controls panel as well.
I have had my eye on making a repaint of this particular aircraft, I just haven't gotten to it yet.
Here is how it looked in 1951, in Korea (originally painted overall silver):
And how the same aircraft now looks today (overall polished metal):

Great update John!
Thanks for sharing some history of this aircraft John. It is great to see how it looks from outside (now and then).
