I hate airplanes
Update: On my layover in Baltimore my coworker and I were the only two left on the plane for more than thirty minutes. The copilot of the previous leg ( and pilot of the next leg ) of our trip let me sit in the pilots seat of the four year old 737 700.
I sat there for thirty minutes talking to him about everything under the sun. Nice guy. He’s an old computer nerd like me and my friends and we had a good chat. He showed me a lot of the controls for the plane and introduced me to the various screens as shown in the picture below. My side is an exact mirror of what you see there. (with the exception of having a fairly competent pilot on that side. )
Did you know that the 737 has pull down HUD? It was very cool. Wish I had thought to snap a couple more pics but I didn’t think to take that one until just before I got up. It’s odd but I felt so much better about the flight once I talked to him and found out he could have been one of us.
My friends are all now terrified of flying.. haha
