Aircraft Cockpits in Flight. What is it about an aircraft cockpit that is so appealing? Is it all the knobs and buttons? Or the fact that pulling the wrong lever can send you to your doom!

Check out these wonderful images taken by an anonymous Russian commercial pilot.

I did but I'm too old now for the airlines.

I did all the commercial theory exams though, just none of the practicals

I've never flown a glass cockpit

sorry to hear that.

maybe you should take a trip over to Russia where they will let you fly anything for the money.

Thats just awesome,looks like a high-end flight sim.

I heard this plane literally flys itself...including take offs and landings.

Wow that's brilliant, you'd need special access nowadays though, I mean those kids can be real trouble makers, no suprise there is so much extra security.

I would just love to sit in the cockpit through the whole flight...the best views on the plane!

I wonder if there is way of doing that?...i mean getting permission to sit with the pilots throughout the flight?....probably not but need to make sure as that would be a dream come true if at all possible?

Maybe "Jim'll fix it for me"!
