Gives a whole new meaning to flying on Limited Panel. How much more limited can you get?

Reminds me of the time I was conducting a type rating at the SAS Flight Academy in the 737-800 simulator on two Israeli pilots from El Al Israeli Airline. Both had flown Mirage fighters in wartime and were now 747 pilots going back down to the 737-800.

When told to switch off the flight director and autothrottles for the next take off, the first officer turned around to me in mock dismay and said "You must be kidding ..What the hell are you giving me left to fly with - the circuit breakers?" I had to delay the take off clearance to get my laughter under control
