Captain Katherine Howard Lovejoy, 25, in the cockpit of C-21B at Winston Run Airfield in the Eastern Provinces, preparing for another retrograde sortie with other 724 Squadron Cargomasters. During the early months of the war, IAF Military Airlift Command helped the Imperial Land Army to evacuate millions of tons of materiel and personnel from the quickly collapsing frontlines under 'OPERATION WHISTLER'. The operation helped maintained an efficient and organized withdrawal of ILA troops to consolidate with Reserves on the rearline while the Border guards and Imperial guard militias formed an ad hoc covering unit to maintain contact and delay the advance of the UTR forces.

When I read C-21B I thought 'That doesn't look like a Lear cockpit?'.
I like how you set up the flight station for taurforms. No center console so they can just slip sideways out of their 'seat'. Although there should be a way to adjust height. It looks like shi's going to have a hard time looking over the panel. Just the aeronautical engineer in me being picky.

Yeah, it has the same designation with real world Learjet C-21, the name Cargomaster also based on real world Douglas C-133 Cargomaster.
The general arrangement of the cockpit was inspired by An-12 cockpit. The pilot seats were raised and the throttle quadrant and part of the pedestal was moved to overhead position to give passage to navigator station on the glazed nose.
With extra space in the middle, Haulair engineers had considered adding taurform seat since the YC-21 prototype. However, the convertible pilot station was only made standard from C-21B onwards, the seat can be converted to accomodate taurform pilot by removing the seat cushion and replacing it with a padding. back rest could be swinged to the side wall for easy entrance and height could be adjusted by sliding the back frame and adding more padding. The conversion could be done in just under an hour without any tools.
