Upgrade LD Cockpit August 16, 2018, 05:28:40 pm I thought I'd share a picture of our upgraded LD cockpit. The learning curve is a bit steep but now I'll know everything about everything. Btw, that's me in the Left Seat preparing to turn the seat over to the rightful owner. I had a great day in this Boeing 767 with my pilot friend. And Moderators ... I know. This is off-topic. But dang ... how often does one get to sit in the Left Seat? The BR for the Pilot and crew ... a bit smaller than our LD and it's right next to the other crew members. I'll never complain about our BR again. 2 Likes

Re: Upgrade LD Cockpit Reply #5 – August 16, 2018, 08:48:46 pm I’m not well educated so I always look at the pictures first. I knew the first pic wasn’t your rig because the carpet was all wrong. But I was wondering how you managed the necessary maneuvers to make use Of the necessary facility in the second picture while driving.!Please do not add video.!!! The mental image is too scary!!
