This picture is the closest you will ever get to the controls of the
Google founders' Party Plane. Snapped
three years ago, it shows the cockpit of the then-Qantas-owned 767 waiting on the runway in Australia before a flight. While
Sergey Brin and
Larry Page redecorated the
rest of the plane we suspect the cockpit remains unaltered, save for cosmetic decorations. Perhaps they changed the color scheme to a white background with primary colors? Anyway, we hope all those buttons and screens don't distract the pilots too much. After all, someone needs to keep the ride smooth enough for
Larry to make out with his girlfriend.
