Old Cessna 172s have the traditional six pack like this:



But ideally for future MD-88 pilots they needed a Cessna 172 that would help them build an MD-88 styled two pack scan:

Of course old Air Force pilots should have no trouble...

Hope you'll do a pic of an A330 A arriving to Atlanta, a red "enhanced mobility scooter" strapped to the side of the cockpit, sporting a Minnesota state flag on the tail & random silver radome & engine inlets, Captain holding a Viagra bottle in one hand and a bottle of DEET in the other while the FO in ear buds peruses a "Airbus flying for Dummies" book & a Delta Connection Academy sticker. (that should just about upset everyone )
I'll see what I can do but man, that's no short order!

As part of my SOF upgrade I got a Tweet ride. After 15 years, I just wondered how anybody could fly that thing, and marveled that I did.

It has to be landing on a taxiway and have a laptop on each tray table.
