Who needs a wheel (yoke) when you got joysticks?   :D    Just a big screen video arcade game.

Those 4 things dead center ahead. They're numbered 1, 2, 3, 4.


I'm having trouble finding the cup holders though. Oh I see them off to the sides... looks to be doubles.

Ok, see 'em now.



This aircraft just blows my mind.



Flying is only a bit over 100 years old. Amazing.
