All I heard is that they were either sleeping, arguing, or that the navigation equipment malfunctioned.

Post by: Serenity on October 30, 2009, 06:08:22 PM: Okay, what kind of aircraft is that? It's driving me nuts! I cannot think of what would have a stick and be that size. It's either too small or too large to be any of the planes that come to mind.

Seriously? I would swear the last time I poked my head into a 737 cockpit it had a traditional yoke...

Who would think this is a 737 when the plane clearly has four throttle levers?

I would of guessed a 747. The yoke was photo shopped out to make room for the keyboards and the replacement was a joystick for a computer.

That's what I thought as well, however if you look at the link flifast posted that's actually the joystick for the A380.

Post by: flight17 on November 04, 2009, 07:07:56 PM: Yes, its a A380 and its still in test registration (F-WWSN) so it went to Emirates Airlines and will eventually be reregistered as A6-EDE.
