Upgrade LD Cockpit
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.

Brings back memories!  My Dad was an Instrumentman in the Air Force and I have fond rememberances of him taking me up into the cockpit of various aircraft when I was but a wee lad!

Reminds me of our trips to Wright Patterson Air Force Base, National Air Force Museum.  Dayton OH.  If you like airplanes . . . . .
Great place to visit.

"The BR for the Pilot and crew..."

Hoo boy! That TP roll is in a real awkward location... unless you're a southpaw.   :D

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!!

John, it's not like he's going to hit anything when in cruise mode.
The link I posted is from the Museum of the Air Force - it's a B-1 Lancer.
