Flight recorder animation

Just got the Animation from a Reserve C-5 Driver buddy. This aircraft had just recieved a cockpit Mod bringing it up to a Glass Cockpit from previously being a steam guage airplane. Only one guy on the flight deck had ever actually flown the glass cockpit in this aircraft and he was using the EP as an opportunity to impart a little knowledge. Unfortunately, he got bogged down in the systems and forgot the part about flying the airplane. Notice also on the animation, the right inboard engine is not at full power like the outboards.

An unfortunate example of getting your priorities out of order. Just luckly no one was killed.
