2012 was my cockpit a fruitful year. The two ‘overheads’ (Forward and After) are created and operational. Also the tinkering of the metal tubular frame, to which the ‘overheads’ on the wall, is to a good end.

For 2013, there are other challenges in the pipeline, namely the construction of the cockpit sidewalls, the window liners, and the cockpit ceiling (ceiling). So much work to be done ...

Yesterday a IVAO-vluchtje made from Brussels to Munich. My F/O (Kenny), meanwhile, has made some pictures with his iPad. Also via his iPad, the push-back run.
