Thats funny, I never thought of it that way! I can see the pilots asking for those now "Give em to us or we go around 2 more times per month!"
 
The GPS is kinda funny...

...but what's up with all those red tags? Yikes!

Gear up, flaps up, shut up...

...yeah man, I hear ya, but if he can't raise the flaps what good is he?
 
I flew the 737-200 for a couple of years, friends would ask about the FMS, GPS, inertial nav, etc, The neighbors would ask about the autoland system etcetc........

2 Vor's, DME, RMI, and a really crappy autopilot was it!!!! Half our fleet had the old sperry autopilots, Heading bug on the F/O's side could not control the autopilot. Control wheel steering was the best you could do. It held the wings in whatever bank angle you put it in.

Funny, when I was flying the do-328 with all glass that was only one year old, had passengers complain all the time about having to ride "This old prop plane"............never had one complain about riding in a 30 year old 737 that was not as well equipped as your average Bonanza.

It's all about perception I guess! :)
 
Every now and then would have a passenger ask about an MEL sticker....being a good company man I would normally not get too deep into it. Something like "oh that only applies in the snow, or it involves a couple of non functional Air Cell phones in the back. Passengers just don't understand if you tell them the B autopilot is inop, or half the pressurization system is non functional.

I think the plane was undergoing maintenance when the picture was taken.

The red tags say "Don't Touch- This stuff's being worked on!" in Yiddish!

I was looking for all the secret missile-countermeasure stuff. Must be on the engie's panel!
