   Dreams of Inflatable Datas are definately disturbing.   
      
   But there is a reason any Aircraft that will need to be nimble in    
   a fight will be controlled by a Joy Stick.  The F-16 was the    
   first to have what would may be considered a Joy Stick    
   controlling it.  The JS is faster than a control Yoke, has a    
   better 2 direction control, simplier, easier to teach (Pilots).   
      
   What's not believable is the "Captain" telling his "Pilot" a    
   course in anything other than suggesting a maneuver.  The Captain    
   yelling out Mark Anything will be the first to have his ship    
   scattered all over the cosmos.
