Besides the planes, I also like to photograph the interiors of the aicrafts. Through the years I managed to compile a neat collection of photos like this...

HA-DAC, a well-equipped specimen of the "Annies".
You can see that the dashboard is an oldschool one, but HA-DAC was fitted with almost everything there is: ADF, VOR/ILS, and GPS (the latter was removed at the time I took this photo).
You can tell that this plane wasn't designed yesterday!
You might say that the cockpit lacks on
ergonomy. But you have ventillator instead of air conditioning :-)
The Antonov AN-26 is a two-engine cargo plane quite common in Eastern Europe. The one I photographed from the inside belonged to the air force but now it's in the AF museum at Szolnok.
HA-SLP: C-150's don't need no introduction, aren't they?
Not a new plane, but fun to fly with!
HA-SJZ

HA-SJG photographed by Sándor Jeszenszky.
HA-SJK: the first two-seat Cessna I ever flew with...
HA-SLZ. This plane was made in 1966 and the dashboard looks even older, almost like the old taildrag-Cessnas!
The remarkably empty cockpit of HA-MJC.
Piper PA-28 Cherokee Warrior II
HA-VES
I love the design of the dashboard, it's like an elegant car from the seventies
or eighties!
HA-MFO
: this one's a workplane so functionality comes before comfort and looks.
HA-SFG
with sporty looks.
The cabin of HA-FBG.
You can tell this plane is nicely equipped!
The "hand brake lever" (flap actuator)
and trimming dials are located between the front seats.
The cockpit of the Z-142 is very much like that of a Z-42, which is no coincidence since 80% of the aircrafts' components are the same.
HA-TRM: one of - if not THE - most beautyful plane I ever had the chance to fly with. Although more than 40 years old, and not too sophisticatedly equipped, it still kicks ass!
You don't need anything more for a sport plane...
Notice the metrical gauges (metres instead
of feets, etc).
HA-SAM:
this Z-526F is in very good condition, its owner loves it and that can
be seen!
The plane of european aerobatic champion Mr. Zoltán Veres photographed at Budaörs. It's got a very simple dashboard, there's not even an artifical horizon there!
The front cabin is even simpler, as it
is intended mostly for a passenger...
The cockpit of HA-SES.
I think the switches, levers and gauges
are quite self-explainatory - if you speak hungarian and russian :-)
The cockpit of HA-JDM.
This plane is very nicely equipped with
COM/NAV gadgets!
A popular half-glider-half-motor plane.
The cockpit of HA-SLS.
Quite robust, I think. (Photos by Laczkó István).
