Best cockpit ever!

[Dornier 335]

I don't care where you fly or what you fly, you'll never top this!

The sad thing is by the time you have seen the entire 360 degree view the CRTs will have been powered down to never be used again (Note the absence of the j/s, no Fed to bother you here! )

Farewell!

Wow, very cool. Thanks for posting!

 

[crxpilot]

Umm. Yeah,,,,,,thats ok but its certainly not the BEST "cockpit" ever. Ya baby!

 

[scoreboardII]

Most expensive, yes. Best? Nope.

Dell, really

I'd trade it for this one, but that's just me.

Since everything else gets blamed on US...

They were gonna put push buttons and real glass in it but Southwest (aka the 800lb. Gorilla) wouldn't have ordered them like that so they were designed the old fashion way...Damn you Southwest! Hoot Gibson felt right at home in the 200/300!

Why are both of those pilots in wheelchairs ? Is this an image of a SWAPA cockpit 20 years in the future ? When they've finally pushed through Age 75.

Certainly looks like a 737-300.

Yeah, that's right . . . . it's our FO's upgrading. . . . after the call-backs went out to all the nursing homes.

I'd take a supercub or RV-4 or just about any GA plane before I take a crapy space shuttle.

 

[blott]

its a glider (a damn fast one, but its still a glider)

My I-phone has more computing power than that thing does...

Its a compilation photo of 85% of the Airways east pilots

That is a steep approach... Wow!

 

[Whataburger]

Oh, I thought it was the best "cock" ever. I came here for no reason. Who cares about buttons and stuff.

 

[SLUF4]

stupid question, but how do they navigate the shuttle in for landing? I'm assuming GPS now, but what about before that?

you must be one of those purdue guys haha

I assume they plot the course into a Flight director and Use A combo of GPS and Ineritial nav to determine the majority of position finding.

At one point they were using a microwave landing system (MLS). My pops showed me a Nat Geo mag from the early '80 that had an article on MLSs. They were going to be the wave of the future and allow airliners to navigate down to a runway on a curved flight path all the way from cruise. I guess RNP will make MLSs obsolete and the FAA never had the funding to install the MLSs in the first place.

I do believe there were a few airports that had them installed. MSP and DFW come to mind.

Did your I-Phone have just shy of 7 million lbs of thrust though?
