There are still sharp edges and parts of equipment we left for guests to enjoy responsibly and carefully.

Please be safe, watch out for sharp edges, and realize that while you are welcome to explore and put your hands on all parts of the airplane inside and out, there are many parts and pieces of the airplane that still can hurt you if you do not know what you are doing. There is a $50 per guest fee for more than two guests.
