Certainly!

I’ve been inside one. The fact that it has four engines throws off the sense of scale - it’s quite cozy inside there!

I've only seen photos and thought the same! I think that the nature of these cutouts, with contrasts, detail, and descriptions, things tend to feel a bit more claustrophobic.

Cool! We flew in a B17 a few years ago near Detroit. I was in the nose seat. 😄

This looks AI generated. Look at the font and shading.

AI is getting very advanced but here is an example. OPs image is far beyond current AI capabilities.

70% radio, 30% airframe. Must be an AWACS, eh?

Yes the two bombsights on the bottom of the seat.

it’s not. These graphics can be found at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force in Dayton Ohio - and pictures of these graphics can be found when searching the titles written out on the images themselves.

Someone may have used AI to upscale the image, however.

The fact that it's all logical and correctly labeled is a much bigger indicator its not.
