palmfish Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 (edited) An all Glass Chinook see the link below click here Nice find. You can zoom in real tight on the main photo and get a good look at the instrument panel. At first glance, I see the clock/timer, radar altimeter and rheostat knob have moved to the center. The mag compass, fire pull handles, and parking brake look the same as before. One nice upgrade (besides the obvious) is the cyclic position indicator is up higher on the panel in the pilots line of sight. Up top, it looks like the ECL and FADEC panels are unchanged too. Should be a joy to fly, thanks to the effort Boeing supposedly put into noise and vibration reduction (the worst part about flying the D Model). Too bad I'll be long retired by the time the Reserves get it... Edited August 20, 2007 by palmfish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
