You know the ones where it was actually work to fly. It kept us pilots from getting fat just sitting up there pushing buttons. Look at the old movies where the pilots were fighting the controls through the thunderstorms flying down around 10,000 feet. See those were the good ole days when pilots were cool. Now people think we are overpayed computer nerds.
Ok maybe not. That thing still looks cool and I would never complain flying it. Heck I might even try to get me one.
Good ole days.....You're lucky you're not in the AF, I work the panel on a 707 with a flying saucer on it. You know what I say about all the glass? I don't like it because it ruins my job security. Luckily the Air Force doesn't have any money to buy new planes, so I get to keep my job a little longer
