#1. Old 707 with the brain of a 16 year old - Nothing good will come of this! ;D
#2. Soda can on foot rest. Story to follow below... :P

First, thank you for your service to our country !
I'm just kidding about the young brain in the old bird. I wish we had these fancy buttons in the old gal.
The soda can on the foot rest brings back a story. Almost all the pilots would place their drink on the foot rest - ONCE!
One day, after a long taxi out of JFK going east, we were in need of some caffeine. The Captain and F/O got some
nice hot coffee from the F/A and - you guessed it - the traffic started moving and very soon we got clearance for takeoff.
I was the F/E, and we all busy with the checklist and cabin alert and turning on to the runway and set takeoff thrust, V1, Vr .....
As the plane's nose passed through 10 degrees on the way to 17 degrees the two hot coffees departed the foot rest for the feet of my two pilots!
I learned a few new words that day, but I also resolved when I got to sit in the pilot seat, I would use the cup holder in the side cubby. ;)
Glad you got the problems resolved. See ya in the pattern!
Lou
