Aircraft we have flown in or toured inside

[steve]

I would be really interested as a group as to how many different aircraft we have looked over (inside the fuslage) or flown in. And for that matter what aircraft we would like to view from the inside and study the layout. For example I would love to see the inside layout of several bombers such as the Victor,stirling, B17 b24 etc.
Ok let me recount on the aircraft i have flown on or toured (2 engines and above)
