I spent many hours sitting and sweating in the California sun as my mind drifted into flying missions. That was back in the late 80's and early 90's. I am so glad you are doing interior shots now. I had a trusty Cannon 35mm and took a couple pictures of the interiors of the planes I was working on the museum grounds, during recovery and in the restoration hangar.
I think my most fond memory is the B-45A (45-0008) The stories that plane could tell!
Let me see if I can dig any up and scan them in if Spectre_I doesn't mind me tagging into his post

Our RB-36, the only of it's kind (it could fulfill either mission) is always open. It is easy to walk through and is one of the highlights of the day. If you ever do make it to Castle, whether on an Open Cockpit day or not, message me. I'll see that you get in. It is complete.
The B-47 is just not practical to get people in, so it's never opened.
