Special tour. I had no idea they did that, as you had to pay just to stick your head inside the cargo area the last time I was there.maxum96 wrote:Nice pictures. Thanks for sharing. Do they let anyone go up to the flight deck and sit in the pilot's seat? Or did you get a "special" tour?

I assume it was done when it was on display in LA near the Queen Mary, I'd read that they'd had a platform you would walk up and look into the cockpit from the outside. Wouldn't it then make sense to give people a better way to see inside? If it isn't that, then I have no clue why.APG85 wrote:Just curious but why does a section of the forward upper fuselage appear to be de-skinned...?

And that would make sense to a degree if the public got close enough to that section to be able to see that.tom d. friedman wrote:the deskinned section is to show tourists / museum guests the meticulous carpentry construction, & the skill it took to make hercules from the ground up, by hand. only my opinion but i think it detracts from the display.
