Can I ask something real silly but sincere? How do the pilots get into the cockpit?


There are stairs inside to go up from the cargo deck to the cockpit. Its about high enough that a semi-truck can drive in under the flight deck through the hinged front door. My son builds and maintains them out at Travis AFB, says that their is a ladder back INSIDE the tail you can use to get all the way up to the electronics and hydraulics at the top of the tail.... A lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng climb.

I'd imagine so! One would certainly get their exercise.

How cool your son builds & maintains them!
