“The Cockpit360º project allows us to let people see the interiors of some of our most recognizable aircraft without compromising their preservation,” said Bryan Carnes, the museum’s lead for this project. “It’s especially exciting to give people the chance to explore inside CCT-1, which is becoming one of the museum’s most popular exhibits.”
The interior photos also are available on the museum’s interactive 360-degree virtual tour, which allows users to explore the museum at their leisure through factsheets, supplemental information and educational tools based on the museum’s collection. The museum plans to feature additional cockpit photos as time and resources allow.
