Hi all,

I work for Pioneer Productions, a TV production company based in London ([Link pending approval]) and we are currently producing a six-part series for a major broadcaster. For the series, we will be doing a whole heap of drama reconstructions involving various aircraft. One aircraft we are trying to get a hold of is a F-16 Fighter Jet. We just need to be able to film in the cockpit of one but we have to do it in the [Link pending approval]

Has anyone built a replica cockpit? Or know anyone in the [Link pending approval] that has?

Many thanks for all your help,

Katie Brimblecombe

I'd suggest finding a museum with an F-16 in it? Anyone looked?

Contact the Belgian and or Dutch Air Force.

They fly a lot to, and in the UK.
Am sure you will not have to wait one month.

I would suggest contacting Public Affairs: http://www.usafe.af.mil/main/contactus.asp

With 3 squadrons they should be able to free a D model for some PR points.

Wow! What an off base reply to a reasonable question.


Really? How many television viewers out of 1000 do you think would know the difference between an F-16 cockpit and the inside of a paper bag?


Really?? It sounds like they are showing multiple aircraft & cockpits. The F-16C/D has a fairly unique cockpit layout, with side-stick & glass cockpit compared to most 4th gen aircraft. So yes, in even a half decent TV production. It does matter.

Can you tell which movies show plastic models vs a real f-16? I usually can.

Thanks again,
