    @temporaryaccount - I will try, but my regular job is very demanding.

    Yeah, the metal is thin and fragile in places. I live in Round Rock, about 3 hours away. @shadowmaker108

    I've been to the Lexington quite often since I only live a few hours away and I've noticed that they have been restricting more and more of it due to age and structure integrity failures from rust but It's still a lot of fun to wonder around, I just wish they would at least let some of the cockpits able to be sat inside. @WalrusAircraft

    I've never been in one. That is very cool. I was just on the Lexington today in Corpus Christie, but no opportunity to sit in any of the planes on deck. @shadowmaker108

    I got stuck in the ball turret of a b-17 G and I have to say it was fairly nice for its old age. The turrets themselves are actually very roomy.

    @Average3323 - yes, these were edited in the XML file for your airplane. Here are some notes I started on how to do this. https://www.reddit.com/r/SimplePlanes/comments/3acdsn/modding_notes/?
