Joysticks instead of steering wheels?

That is awesome. Thanks for sharing that BB. What a cool room to fly a plane from.

That's a cool site. I'd feel weird flying left handed I think.

One thing's for sure: if the pilots are incapacitated, I ain't landing that plane. Make your peace with God, 'cause I'm steering that baby into a mountain.

That part is strange. Some jet fighters essentially only have a joy stick as well. The stick for an F-16 is on the right side of the pilot and not in between the legs like most other fighters.

Yes, but since it a joystick they can just get some 12 year old video game junkie to land the plane.

How do the pilots see over the dash board?

So true. Maybe my punk nephew is good for something after all.

Do any of you have Microsoft Flight Simulator? I do and it is fun as heck to play with.

The viewing angle is a little lower than the pilot's line of site.
