Read somewhere that it is located BEHIND the F/O, and is viewed by using a couple of rear-views on the dash?! What's the theory on that decision?

C'Mon Inspector, you've got to let us in on your prose regarding the DDT's whiskey compass!

They could not mount it in the middle, so the DC-9,MD80/90 B717 all have the compass behind the F/O with little dinky mirrors to view it. Trust me it is a bitch to do a compass swing. (I used to work on the B717)
