Alexander and Tiffania had a quality time together checking and inspecting the aircraft. From the cargo hold to the cockpit, there's not a part of the plane they have discovered.
While doing so, Tiffania asked a lot of questions about the flight controls, especially the yoke of the Moose or the copy of the C-17 Globemaster. Compared to the other aircraft, instead of the traditional yoke that one often sees in a commercial aircraft, the C-17 Globemaster uses a joystick similar to the fighter aircraft. The reasons are quite simple, the pilots that are going to pilot the aircraft are coming from a large pool of fighter aircraft pilots, the Mcdonnell Douglas have been building fighter aircraft where all use control sticks, and lastly, to reduce weight, 1 kilogram specifically.
Alexander had no problem with it when it comes to the flight control design, for him it's a matter of preference, both yoke and sticks will work on the C-17 Globemaster.
