Weeee! You'll need plenty of altitude before attempting to go supersonic and you probaby don't want to be wearing headphones too...I almost spilled my Martini! :lol:

Yep, it was Crossfield. And according to this website http://genemay.info/html/streak3dedication.htm it was also flown by Gene May "Test Pilot Extraordinaire!" :roll: This website does show some good cockpit shots of the real Skystreak which makes it appear that the flightsim modeler was very close when it comes to the scale of his Skystreak's cockpit. :thumbsup:
