To push, and to amuse.

Since it's not really legal to do Sudoku puzzles ...

From normal sitting height, those wires are not visible. In fact, they're not visible in the photo, either. They're nothing more than a figment of your active imagination. There is no mind-control device on the airplane, and you are not being manipulated. Only moderators can see that black box.

The guy reaching for it in the photo is wearing a watch like mine, except for the band. My band is metal that matches the watch.
Timex Expedition. I had one like it too. Traveled all over the world. The LCD window could display two time zones. I kept one on Zulu, and the other on home time. Used the mechanical hands for local. It cost about $30 I believe. Now that I'm a domestic only guy I don't need such a fancy piece of equipment. I have a Timex Expedition with just the mechanical hands and a date window. A bargain at $19.95.

Feel free to cal me slow, but I hope you're not insinuating from your video link that the aircraft is an MD-11!

Definitely MD-10, and only going off of a vague memory about it being the -10 series.

You old people just love your subtle humor. What happened to old fashioned dick and fart jokes???

Ouch. I didn't think I was old.


The second picture you posted in this thread shows 4 landing gear lights (above the landing gear handle) -- nose, 2 mains, and a center gear. That makes it a MD-10-30.

(The airplane in the video only has three -- no center gear. That makes it a -10.)


I wasn't insinuating the airplane in the video is an MD-11 -- the guy that posted it makes that insinuation.
