Did not disappoint at all. Loved it!!!!

This was my first tour like this ever. I really did enjoy all of it. I would have liked to get deeper on the inner workings of the engines and brake systems for the anchors. But it was a great tour and the added bonus was the speeches for the crew on the flight deck. They have nerves of steel. Thanks again for a wonderful time.

Great afternoon exploring

This was a great afternoon activity. We spent about 3 hours exploring. It was great to have a combination of self-exploration and guided tour sections.
