Private tours of the Flight Deck are available for a fee. It was like $50 Dollars.
Speaking with one of the Guides during my visit in 2007 he said they had to close
down the flight deck because people were taking souvenirs. Dials, knobs etc...

Next time I go home for a visit, I'm going to have to get over to the
museum, if for nothing else, to see the Spruce Goose.
Nice series.

Yep. I would like to see more, of all of the "how it's made" and other
technical goodies, though. Can you go inside it?

I have never seen a good web site that really did it justice, IMHO. I saw
one picture that showed how a mechanic could walk inside the wing to work on
the engines while in flight, if I recall that correctly. Lots of stuff like
that, would give me a thrill. g

Seeing the Spruce Goose in this lifetime is pretty high on my list of "must
do's."

I'm working on a trip in the next year or two, but it is a hell of a long
way from NC, if I can still read a map correctly. g

Oh well, just several hours sitting in a long aluminum tube, I guess. :-)
