[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is the business end of an Airbus A380. You can get a sense of the size of the aircraft by the vehicles that are parked outside. A380 has a “glass cockpit” meaning that all the instruments are digitized. No old style analog dials in this baby! Digital displays also mean that the instrument panels are less cluttered because you can display more than one type of information on the same display screen. Also note the video game style joystick at the left bottom that flies the plane.

Ciao Sunil


Lucky you had a
excellent access to this immense Cockpit
plane. Beautiful and interesting to his panel.
Nothing more exciting to be in the real
that a joystick.
Nice close.
Greetings my friend ..

Very cool! Technically it may be a little 'snap' ish - with flash lighting and arbitrary composition, but this is one example of where subject overrides technicals.

An amazing instrument panel, certainly very high tech. It must be a thrill for pilots to fly.
