I'm glad you guys like the video! I know it's a bit slow, the plan is to eventually get some music and voiceovers by the flight crew to keep it interesting (and when that happens it may even grow longer, we'll see) but John really wanted to get something up for everyone to enjoy right away :)

As for the flight instruments, my understanding is that the "front office" has US-calibrated instruments, while the "rear office" retains the original instruments (calibrated in meters and km/hr).

Thanks for the reply. Going off the 360 view, it's hard to tell, but they all look original. However, I know that some instruments were available in English calibration from the factory, so that may be what's throwing me off and makes it hard to tell without closeups of the instruments. :)
