that. I almost had a heart attack when I saw
that thing go down because it would have messed
up the whole time reference system. I thought
the switches and circuit breaker panels were
very good. I have no complaint about it. I
think that's a well designed cockpit. The mirrors
were fine and the swizzle stick was a real life
saver.
I can't reach the circuit breakers and
switches over on the right-hand side unless I
use the swizzle stick. I had to do a lot of
switching when Ed was sleeping. This swizzle
stick was the real answer.
I 've been always telling you to get some long
arms .
H~, ha!
I didn ' t use the swizzle stick
very much .
Yes, but you don't have to reach over and get
those switches all on the left-hand side .
I found the swizzle stick was quite useful for
unstowing items out, of the center stowage box.
That ' s right .
It was really good there.
I used that every time
when I unstowed.
It ' s a good piece of equipment .
Okay, lighting- do
.you want to ~
