That's because they still fly airplanes with steam gages and lots of clicking sounds

A simulated air refueling training flight with a last in the class student who has hands made of stone and a four star General as a father is pretty scary.

Syntax error when you say class and student. Those words denote education. We're talking about something that does not have seat belts here and the air vent is the cabin door open which coincidentally also lets you enjoy the music of a shoddily made on license Curtiss engine developed during the Prohibition era.

Heh, going from an An-2 to an IL-76 is like going from the Piper Cub to the USS Enterprise, the NCC-1701 kind, when it comes to literally every metric.
BTW - 632NK will be here tomorrow, for whoever was asking if we skipped it all together.

I remember being on an IL76 for the first time. As soon as I caught my breath from the smell of Russian body odor, I noticed the plane had a "12 button." As in the technology is so absent on this plane, it would not recognize an input of 1 and then a 2 for the number 12. A button dedicated to the number 12. Of course where was a 13, 14, and 15 button too.
