You enter it through the back of a CH-46 and walk down the ramp to the middle of a firebase.

I remember using a system board like this at the Northrop University A&P school.Noha307 wrote:I was paging through the Grumman aircraft thread and I came across pictures of some boards laying out the electrical, fuel, and landing gear systems for an F8F that would make excellent museum displays (and apparently I wasn't the only one that though so):

The Navy room at the main Mall Smithsonian museum did a similar thing on a smaller scale with fake pipes, etc giving it a ship like feel.
The walk through B-29 at the USAF "command Decision" is very neat, with a Plexiglas tunnel allowing you to walk through the fuselage.
Can't recall which museum that had a S-2F that they let kids climb all around in a purposeful "please touch" display. What a great way to let kids touch and feel and smell, and hardly rare, so no big deal that it got wear and tear. Wish more museums would have sacrificial hands on aircraft, and give them one to explore.
