Cool stuff! This came up on another forum I visit. I know there are some aircraft nuts on here so I thought I'd crosspost:

I like that trap door on the port side....I saw the 747 version of that in "Snakes on a Plane!"

Awesome. I was thinking the same thing.

Something just seems bizarre about "driving" something without a wheel or handlebar or something to have feedback with.

Looks just like our 320's + 2 engines and a hud. and space... haha.
Those are the same lights we have here at JFK but the fact there is another 380 right next to it pretty much assures it is Germany, France or the UK.

I was going to joke about "Where's the cupholders?" but I found at least four of them.

The A380 probably has one of the most complex glass cockpit designs. There's a bunch of articles about the neat little gadgets - for example pilots are able to carry in flight plans on some form of palm based device to the flight deck and download them into the FMS.

One of those VHF codes seems to be from an airport near Bristol, UK. Oh, and that panorama is AWESOME on my new 27" widescreen monitor.

A glass cockpit in a Waco?! That seems a bit silly.
This is a Waco by the way:

Haha. Here's the "cockpit panorama" of my ~Aeronca 65T~. Basic turn & bank, wet compass, air speed, oil pressure, RPM (2300 redline)....a basic stick & rudder ship.
This is on final approach (N) to 12N. The runway is 1900 ft and ~between~ the two lakes staight ahead. land on the numbers or get wet. Easy in my old Airknocker.
