While most of it tends to be hidden away either in the cabin ceiling space or under the cabin floor panels, some of it – particularly the air conditioning riser ducts – is fitted in the cabin walls at certain intervals, making the inclusion of a window at that position impossible.

Its journey continued when the aircraft was flown via helicopter lift from NAS Pensacola to Smyrna, Texas, in May 1980. 92013 was relocated to the Washington Navy Yard, where it was suspended from the ceiling and displayed prominently as 17649, nicknamed “Big Hog.” There, it underwent an extensive rebuild by Stones River Air Service.

The flight deck has to meet certification criteria such as field of vision, ergonomic aspects, and instrumentation. Aircraft have to be in continuous forward motion to create lift and thus possess potentially destructive kinetic energy while in motion. Trains and cars can brake and stop and achieve a safe status.
