Logan 757 089
Flight deck of 757. I'm not sure, but I think this was the last Boeing to have CRT displays, as opposed to LCD. The reason this is worth mentioning is that the symbols (e.g. the engine arcs in the middle top display) are drawn as perfect vectors, as are each letter. For example, a circle is made by scanning the electron beam in a circle, creating a gorgeous, bright, perfect circle. No pixels. Thus, despite being "antiquated" technology, the displays are beautiful and unlike anything you see today. LCDs may be cheaper, but there's something about CRTs, especially vector-based ones, that are a pity to see go.
