Well Sreeja, this thought never crossed my mind and now that you've said it, it just set me thinking. Hehehehe!

Cockpit for me has always been the place where we adjust the seat height, strap on our harness, set the altimeter to airfield elevation, start up the engine, align on the runway and with the engine screaming at full throttle, we take off.

Nobody ever taught us why its called the cockpit but I guess it dates back to the days of WW-I, sometime during the year 1914.

Never thought that it could ever get such an erotic connotation! Hehehehe!
