A little far away for me. But I would be there today if I could.....superb!

Not being allowed to sit in cockpits in museums is soOoo annoying.

I remember that I used to go to the C.R.Smith Museum every time I could, after classes at the AA Learning Centre.  The addition of the MD-80 Cockpit is another reason to go back and visit after many years.

stopped by the cr smith museum this morning after picking up the car from the dealer nearby, the md80 exhibit is really cool.  liked the dc3 and the cf6 engine there, too.  

sitting in the pilot's seat, the view is exactly like what i see on the maddog md80 vc (in vr) with eye aligned with the white alignment dot, 

eyepoint = 60.810,-1.670,3.264

highly recommended visiting the museum for those who love the maddog.

That's awesome thanks!  worked on the md-80 as a ramp agent so many years ago but was to busy to ever get inside the cockpit lol on my break used to stair at it and even walk around it and see all the beautiful details love that bird.
