Well not remembering which jet leaves the field wide open...but if it
was on the pedestal of a B737 200 series or a B727 or a B707 you were
looking at the rudder trim knob.
I thought of that, but this was larger ... and you wouldn't normally
use rudder trim to turn the aircraft.
I guess it could be a manual turn controller for the autopilot, as Bob
said, but I wonder how it was used and why it's gone now.
Keeep wondering fjukktard.
Unless you send me the 500, of course.
