For some children, a brief moment in the airplane, locomotive, boat, whatever, cockpit can be enough to inspire dreams and future aspirations.
It needs to be done safely of course, but as a child, seeing into the airplane cockpit was my favorite part of the trip. All the buttons and switches, and the uniforms the pilots wore... it all dazzled me as a young child. To this day, I still desire to fly an airplane...
- ehnto 10y agoI completely agree and I'm grateful I had so many similar opportunities. As a child I had been in airline cockpits and at the controls of a few boats (my father worked in marine operations) and I can definitely associate those experiences to my love for systems and technology. Especially systems with switches! Unfortunately the systems I work with only have switches written in code. Perhaps I should rig the deploy process up to a sturdy industrial switch panel for fun.
