The cockpit is still intact, and Kotwicki even mentioned that he has eventual plans to turn the cockpit into a full-scale flight simulator using actual flight controls.For comfort, Jon installed a pressure tank to allow guests to take a shower and heated floors. He also focused on full-size appliances in the kitchen, which means the space can be actually used to cook proper meals three times a day.
