As you are so forward of the props, there is still a huge amount of engine noise. You just to love the old Albatross and her big round engines, You could never sneek up on someone................

Yep, I had to crawl underneath the pilots and belly up to the nose. No seatbelts or anything but a sleeping bag/blanket and a pillow.
