F3D/F-10 Skyknight Cockpit Photo Set:
This photo set contains seven photographs showing cockpit details of TF-10B Skyknight, BuNo. 124630, while the aircraft was operational as a range telemetry aircraft for the White Sands Missile Range. The Skyknight was based out of Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico during the late 1970s and early 1980s for this purpose. The pilot’s station appears as it basically looked in all Skyknights, while the right side of the cockpit had telemetry gear installed. The right side of the cockpit varied considerably depending on the function of the aircraft. Standard F3D-1 and F3D-2 night fighters had radar gear for the radar operator, while EF-10Bs had electronic warfare equipment. Training aircraft had yet a different right side installation, while test aircraft had unique installations depending on what system or equipment was being tested.
