Can't find free image

I tried a google image search of faa.gov and af.mil for good images of a yoke and couldn't find nothin' that would qualify. Odd. knoodelhed 12:28, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I found several. http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=airplane+yoke+&btnG=Search

None of those are in the public domain čĥàñľōŕď 23:22, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm guessing this is no longer required, but I took a photo of the cockpit of a Cessna 152 a few weeks ago. Let me know if you would like to use the yoke portion of the picture in this article. Whippen (talk)

Is it really also called a stearing wheel?

What does this article need?

What does this article need, to bring it up to scratch and out of stub class status?

From my point of view, there is not a lot more that can be added, without duplicating info already in articles like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_flight_control_systems. Any suggestions as to what more we can do to improve this article? Whippen (talk) 11:38, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Joystick?

As far as I know, nobody in aviation uses the term "joystick", it's always "side-stick" (Airbus) or plain "stick" (or "centre-stick"). I'm going to correct the article accordingly, but I'd welcome any comments or corrections. Ptrt (talk) 19:24, 21 November 2008 (UTC) [reply]
