I believe that is the only publicy released shot of the Blk 60's interior. You'll be hard pressed to find any others, especially energized like that.
I'm watching...
WOW!!....Throttle's off, seat's safed, canopy knuckle-buster's out, but he's got power ANNNNND he's in a turn at altitude! That Block 60's some kinda wicked jet, ehwot?!!
Whilst visiting my old job site at the Tucson ANG a few years back, I tried to horse trade an escorted visit to the Block 60 sim there. Fuhgettaboutit!!

The photo looks like the cockpit I where I performed preflight checks almost everyday for 4 years! the Left display shows an ASARS image, the right display shows a radar search display and the center disply shows a navigation screen over the Stores Management page. The hud display is probably photo shopped, I don't remember seing a turn display very often on t he ground!! It was a very easy aircraft to run up. Pretty much, each system is initiated by a single switch.

But didn't you guys know the Blk 60 has an optional UCAV flight control system and this shot was taken on a flight with the background photoshopped out for security reasons?

Especially not while the ADI shows straight and level!

There is no "ADI" in the block 60 as in other versions, I think you're referring to the Standby Flight Intrument display in the lower center; what was called a Whiskey compass

Just browseing this morning, Scorpion, UCAV system in a Block 60? What's that, I never saw one when I worked on them. There was space for future upgrades from Helmet mounted cueing system, but as far as I know, it wasn't installed in the fleet yet.

As a Block 60 flight chief at the 162nd FW I can verify that the UAE and the ANG are very protective of any detailed photos being taken of thier jets. Some high ranking people get very excited when anyone with a camera gets near these jets!

Well that was me that tried to get in to the sim and I didn't even have a camera! (but I used to have a high security clearance). I talked to a couple of people I knew but if ya didn't have prior approval or a clearance to get in, it wasn't gonna happen. Just doin' their jobs tho, so I couldn't complain.

Hm, they didn't seem to mind too much at Holloman last fall... although apparently it was a Lockheed rather than UAE operation, for various electronics testing. Lots of bumps on that airplane...
