More from the Airshow - the Space Shuttle transport 747. When ever they have to land at Edwards in Cali, they fly the shuttle back to Florida on the back of this plane:

that is one outdated panel in that 747... i have seen more glass in experimental aircraft that in that thing.. by glass im refering to a glass cockpit which pretty much eliminates old analog instruments with digital versions.

Someone asked the guy about that and he said they don't get those kind of luxuries. Image
