LOL

Alright lets do it!
But I'm only doing the engine page for now... and the nav display
Later more can be added.
I'll be on Mumble at the usual time.

I never "left" but I did all I could do. Who said there couldn't be more?!

Probably the best RC-135R cockpit picture on the web:

I'm trying to replicate that but I think that we have to add a new PFD just for the RC, maybe using a tweaked one from McDonnell Douglas or something like the Primus 1000 or Primus Epic.
