Here are a couple of links. The exhibit aircraft is an earlier version, but I saw the electronics compartment when he was being restored - it's HUGE; the entire bomb bay.

I think we're performing a similar mission with the Bombardier 700. Can't go quite as high but a lot nicer for the guys flying it. A friend told me they would do P90X while droning for hours at a time since they aren't allowed any electronic devices on the jet. Bet that smells really good .
