Seriously cool...

A look at the cockpit of the new Airbus A380. It just seems so weird that there's no control yoke to pull up on. There's just a joystick. It just seems weird that you could control the world's biggest plane with a simple joystick. And, forgive me for being rather insensitive, but what will it look like when actors reenact the first crash and they can't do the strained-face, sweating, using-every-muscle-in-their-bodies-to-pull-up-on-the-controls thing because all it is is a joystick. What would they do? Use two hands?

Ugh. I thought I had lost the airplane geekiness with my first boyfriend. I guess not. They're just too interesting.
