It is amazing that they fly this bird without an Airspeed indicator, Turn coordinator, Rate of climb/descent indicator Ft/min.
No interior lighting and a compass placed horizontally on side console subject to error from metals around.

Good cokpit photo. I wonder why they need so much air pressure even with a pump for the pilot.
