I also noticed some covering missing on the center wind screen divider
with exposed wiring, made me wonder if this is a sim cockpit.  Also,
the flash lighting on the dash and perspective makes me wonder if the
photo was taken by someone standing between/behind the two seats.
(Part of the captain's yoke obscures the center art. horizon.)
Also, if you look carefully at the runway number, it is quite clearly
a two digit number.  I would say 2x something.

Looking through matching airport records, this has to be mexico city,
but probably 23R, rather than 5R ...
