Wooden instrument panel, removed from the aircraft, which contains eight instruments which are secured to the panel with screws. Macready and Kelly used these basic instruments to fly the;T-2 by dead reckoning-"seat of the pants" flying-as they hugged the terrain on their way to San Diego. They made the first non-stop coast-to-coast flight, from Long Island, New York to San Diego, California, with a total flight time of 26 hours, 50 minutes and 48 seconds.
