It looks like it could have come out of a procedures trainer.  Basically
a cockpit mockup with fake instruments and buttons.  It is used to allow
new pilots to get familiar with the switch locations.

I remember we use to have to pass a blind touch test.  You know, "Show
me the fuel dump switch."  The pilot has to place his fingers on the
right switch.

Says it's an F-18-type grip but I dunno why he would think that's what
it is. Anyway, looks interesting........wonder
what it was used for? Kinda looks like it's from an exhibit or
something.

If the bids don't go up too much in the next day or two I'm gonna see if
I can nab this one. Would make a nice addition
to my joystick project. :)
