There's this scene where Maverick and Goose's son "Rooster" steal an F-14 for plot reasons.
The F-14 was pretty bad arse 35 years ago. Even the RIO looked cool.
Now (and the plot TG2 alludes to it), it looks like junk.
This is what the "modern" 737 looks like compared to your basic CRJ.
An anachronism.
How is this even possible?
Haha! Yes! The worst part about the NG is that it has the screen space right there, but it just lays blank on a super expensive empty screen.
