Mirage Flight Control Stick

Now this is a relic. It is not available at Wall mart nor Chen One nor any other shopping mall. This is military stuff.

That right it’s a vital part of a aircraft. Without the plane cannot turn left, turn right nor elevate up and down. It’s a flight control stick of Mirage fighter jet.

This control stick belongs to Mirage III jet. Thanks to my Friend Ahsan Mukhtar for showing me this device.

At left most of the stick is the the pitch controller. This big lever on top is the safety which protect the pilot from pressing the fire button situated below the lever. the lever rotates 180 degrees back thus it becomes a trigger for firing guns.

below you can see another horizontal lever at the bottom of the stick. It is a button used for auto pilot engage and disengage. There are two more button (not visible) one is used for RT calls.
