    These rare photos capture the Flight Deck (cockpit) of the Space Shuttle Endeavour, fully powered for one of the final times. Just a few weeks later, at 9:58am EDT on May 11, Endeavour was powered down for the final time in history. It was the last of the three space shuttles to have power. Below, other views show the mid-deck, gutted of its lockers and storage areas, and three final photos show the white room entrance in the Orbiter Processing Facility, signed by thousands over the years.

    Nice one http://launchphotography.com/Endeavour_Flight_Deck.html

    In the days of Team Aer Lingus (later SR Technics), the employees used to bring their kids in on family days and one of the tricks was to sit the kids in the pilots' seats of aircraft undergoing maintenance and remotely switch on every light on the flight deck as in that Space Shuttle photo, with predictable reactions!
