I wonder if these are spy pictures or assembly plant authorized?
 
Cameras are not allowed on the tours.

In 2002 I was in the plant and was permitted to take photos.
Granted, it was the C5 line at the time, but you can get the same general idea.

Take a look at this page and check out the Assembly Plant series of photos.
