Great description... have you heard of the incident a while ago when a
cargo plane carrying live animals nearly crashed because a monkey
escaped from the cage and beat the crew out of the flight deck to take
control itself? The crew reoccupied the flight deck after some time,
though.
The Aeroflot A320 wasn't that lucky...
BTW, what "big button" are you referring to? I didn't know the PC-12
had missiles on board...

If only the PC-12 had a door rather than a curtain...
Anyone know any good ways of getting permission to get onto the flight
deck for a commercial flight? (I'm not thinking of box cutters, BTW.)
(Also, I'm not a pilot and don't know the crew.)
