After 70 years of waiting, the XF-82 (Twin Mustang) finally flew again!

Could it be flown from either cockpit?

The XP-82 prototypes, and production P-82Bs and P-82Es, retained both fully equipped cockpits so that pilots could fly the aircraft from either position, alternating control on long flights, while later night fighter versions kept the cockpit on the left side only, placing the radar operator in the right position.
