Default Guess this cockpit

I think I will be very surprised if someone can guess this one.




...AND DON'T GO DO AN N-NUMBER SEARCH! I just noticed that in the pic.

OK! So not as hard as I thought it would be.

My buddy was recently named Chief Pilot on this - MetLife, Snoopy 2 - and he was nice enough to give me, my wife, and father-in-law a tour. Unfortunately, the camera equipment takes up the space and weight of additional pax. It cuts the capacity from 5 to 2.

I would never have guessed that a blimp could have so many similar gauges to an airplane. What a neat tour Bloodhound!

Now that I think about it, I am almost 100% sure that Snoopy2 was the callsign for a blimp that came through KCCR, (Concord Airport, CA), during a traffic pattern practice of mine almost 5 months ago!

Twin Rotax and runs on car gas. 7 1/2 hours endurance at a higher power setting and 12 at low power.

I cheated, and googled the N number visible on the panel.
