Hi Chris,
The sunset was a stretch of an attempt to get an image, because I seldom
find an unobstructed horizon before me.
The sailplane ( way too sophisticated to be referred to as a glider)
panel usually includes a very sensitive VSI and also a g-meter. As to
the headset cable, I did not stick my head in the cabin area for very
long, because the checkout work was going on, but I believe these birds
use a side-mounted stick. I can't say for sure.

The sunset is pretty vivid, Jim; I like that composition.
I always find glider instrument panels interesting: they are so simple but have one or two
instruments that I don’t really understand, such as the VSI-like thing. I like the
multi-purpose (I assume) screen, but I’d hate to have my headset cable trailing
forward over the control column in flight.

After dinner, I took the Fuji to the airport for a few late-in-the-day shots.
The first is the instrument panel of a brand new sailplane, being prepared for
delivery. The streaks on the canopy are a protective plastic covering. This
was shot from the shadow side, against sunlight coming in the hangar door. I
was impressed with the detail.

The second is a locally-based LifeFlight helicopter returning to base after a
mission, as the sun gets lower. The specks in the sky are birds that I could
not see by eye.

And the third is the setting sun on a calm evening at the airport.

See large. By posting as jpg instead of tif, the Exif data is preserved, if
you are interested. No noise removal or sharpening was applied to these images.
