I spend some time there yesterday and met Bob Oehl of Wings of Dreams. He has the Collins Foundation B25 stored in a hangar (they are operating it until the Collins foundation puts it back on tour, which is when the economy picks back up).
I let me climb all over the aircraft, from the nose bomber/gunner position to the tail, passing through the cockpit.
Those looking for a Christmas present, I'd ask Santa for an hour of instruction.
If you have some time, I recommend you stop by.

Guess what level you want to bump as you pass between the seats? The gear
The scary part is that it's always life, so if you hit it as you get into the pilot seat, the airplane will fold its legs.
From the cockpit, looking backward at my little brother. If he looks down, he's look at the stairs we used to come up from under the belly.
A flight engineer would have been needed, since these are between the cockpit and the seats in the back.
It was easier to get to the right seat, so that's where I went![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
The other front office. The tunnel use to get there is made for short skinny guys.
