It can be a 'challenge' with some types - the 2-seat (side-by-side) BAC Lightning had 'reversed' controls ie throttles outboard in both seats which made any 'instinctive' control movements eg during tanking or formation potentially exciting................ Then there was the (also 'outboard') intercept radar control stick with its 23 switches, knobs and levers 'Change hands'
