Gander and the Shannon VOLMET in Ireland, old standards here. The
guy's voice on Shannon used to have a very strong Irish coloring to
it. Wonder if most have gone to the Igor voice by now?

It made me think of tuning around on my first Command set, very
precise and board. Those little flip-down tabs on the other controls
are very clever, more easily manipulated  in gloves or with bare hands
in a cold cockpit.
