Now that was a Real instrument panel !

 

                                "Gauges, Gauges, We got your stinking Gauges!"

 B-36  never  fought in any  war.. 
 
 The early glass cockpit - duplex F/E's - back in the days when men were men and dials were dials..... six turnin' and four burnin'
 


This is a 360 panorama of the flight engineers station on a B-36: Six reciprocating R-4360s and four J-47 jets to keep an eye on, plus fuel, pressurization, hydraulics, electrical, and other systems.  Steam gauge heaven!
