My next ride, I'm totally taking my DSLR. I don't care if it's a crappy old Canon. I've missed AR shots on the C-5 & C-17. NEVER AGAIN!!!

The amount of buttons hurts my head.

Most certainly. I just have no idea when those flights will happen. Missed the last one up to Alaska this last Spring.

This summer, my family got a tour of Delta Tech Ops at ATL from f86sabre. My boys got to sit in a few cockpits, and I pointed out to my oldest son that the pilot has to know what every single one of those switches, knobs, buttons and fuses does. It's pretty bewildering.

Pilots are a special breed.
