SO: Has anyone actually SEEN the Thrust Tunnel..looking Clear Through the hull to the other side..?? Just wondering. NB
I saw the trusters in operation while waiting to get back into Back Bay. I was amazed and pointed it out to my onboard passengers. Take another look at all the images and you will see where they are located. They are about 1/4 of the way aft at most.
