I took the tour of the one parked outside the Museum of Flight in Seattle. The guide said the ideal crew member was <5'7" and weighed 140 lbs max. I'm 6'1" and about 220 lbs. It was a very tight fit on the catwalk in the bomb bay (tore my shirt). I also tried the dorsal turret. Good thing I'm not claustrophobic.
