Kent Wien describes the 32 cockpit lights that can be dimmed on a 757. Blog post about the video here: www.gadling.com... Camerawork by fellow copilot Linda Wackerman. Thanks Linda!
Why did you stop making these videos? This is fascinating stuff. Would love to see more.

Wow, even as a non-pilot I've heard about the 757/767 cockpit and its notorious dimmer knobs! I heard the main reason Boeing added the master dimmer switch in the 777 is because of all the complaints they got from pilots who were tired of having to reach all around the cockpit to change the lighting. Great video!

Heh! Well, I've never counted the dimmers. He must study all the time! Anyway, that cockpit is antiquated compared to the Fedex 757 cockpit I work in! Lots of steam gauges, we have none, we have two large screens that take up the whole side of the panel. Well I flew for American Eagle, so I worked for AMR at one point too. Great video! It was interesting to see this and the fact that the 777 can dim all the lights at ONCE is a great innovation! Keep up the good work!
