Are the pilot and radar operator sat side-by-side?
Also, I note the kink in the rear fuselage tail, I assume this would be handy provision for a rocket booster for a future variant?

Truthfully, I had not given particular thought to the seating arrangements, but side-by-side would seem to be the logical choice given the canopy layout

As for the rocket booster question, none is anticipated at this time.
