24mm should be sufficient. Multiple flashes with bounce. One trick is
to drag shutter to let the interior lights do their thing. Reading
lights, etc., could be allowed to warm little bits of the interior a
bit.
You'll have three exposures to worry about:
1. Exterior. The light coming in through the windows as well as what
is outside the window.
2. Flash. This will be your primary "fill" lighting for the cabin.
3. Interior Lights. You want the lighting to do something, otherwise
it's just a still-life.
You can do everything in a darkened hanger. Shoot a couple in-air
photographs for background outside the windows to be inserted in
photoshop. This is absolutely needed! Well, not really, but it is your
excuse to get in a flight. :)
External light trick--to simulate the sun coming in through the
window, place a flash outside the cabin shining down through the
window. Make sure your light and your inserted air-ground picture in
the background match angles and brightness. There should be islands or
mountains in the background. The position of the flash will be some
distance away, otherwise you get weird sunspots.
Unless the airplane has a late-model glass cockpit, I'm not so sure I
would include a photograph of the instrument panel. There is mixed
feelings on this. A large percentage of the 1% crowd knows about glass
cockpits, but they don't photograph as well as the traditional steam
gauges.
