What's up with the yoke being handed over after and before taxiing? Do they both get to fly, just trade off flights?

oh yeah, awesome post!

Nosewheel steering is only available for the left-seater. On take-off roll, the right-seater takes the yoke and applies wind correction until the rudder becomes effective and nosewheel steering is no longer needed (around 70kts for us). At that point, (if it's his/hers take-off) the yoke is transfered back to the left-seater for take-off.

Same applies after landing when nosewheel steering is needed, the co-pilot takes or keeps control of the yoke while the pilot taxis.

why are there 2 rows of windows except in the very center, where there's only 1?

That actually looks more fun than flying the Hornets.
