Now what you need is an electrically powered

toilet that can be operated by any unused switch/lever on your controls...

Do prototype ops require you to file in triplicate?

That is, before you're allowed to roll?

He did a superb job

I especially like the mirror set into the cab window.  I wonder how many of the breakers actually work.

The part that really gets me is that he went to the trouble of installing an air compressor and tanks so that the brake valves and gauges work properly.  When I first saw the video, I was looking at the air gauges, ready to catch him with them set incorrectly, but when I looked again at the brake handle.. nope, it's all in working order!

Still, I have to question the utility of the brakes in this situation.  Seems to me that stopping the movement might not be desirable.

I just wondered

Why there was't a roll of tissue hanging off the throttle lever. Or maybe you issue crew packs.
