Finally, pics of my cockpit, though no Sharks teeth or cup holder, it provides me hours of entertainment.:)  Sub-woof sits behind the seat, creating a nice rumble that will rattle the pics on the wall loose :)  (Excuse the 640 resolution, its a digicamcorder, with still pics as an added feature, though only 640 feature)

Be sure to lacquer it up real good Rip... so that if there's ever a stray charge, it'll go up in flames and be almost a real simulator. Atleast you'll go down in flames....

Very cool Rip.  

An 'eclectic' cockpit..it is functional and yet forms a part of the surrounding decor!

(the wife's gotta stop watching those decorating shows...it's rubbing off)
Some will fall in love with life and drink it from a fountain that is pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain

This shot is the wall that the cockpit sits along...some Nelson Galloway original prints, Classic American Aircraft limited edition stamps, the Boeing news the day the 777 flew, and a big print of the first 747 that flew for Boeing, called "747 Super Airbus"...ironic isn't it? ;)  A B52-G hangs in the corner, still waiting for a good B52 simulator to hit the market.....

Rip.  Nice and clean looking buildup.  You should go pro!

Are those are Nixon Galloway prints?  You mentioned Nelson in the post.

Ya know...looking at all these rigs makes me feel inferior. Sure I've got and old 1GHz Athlon with a GeForce 4...but without that neat looking cockpit...I feel so low. :D

Oh well...I'll do goos with my cluttered comp room and headphones...
