We visited the Rocky Reels airship first and while it shows two spots to plant, we could only find the one at the back of the north end of the airship, one level below where you first enter the airship.

Next up we went to Command Cavern. While you can go to the Tilted Towers airship, the locations of the plant spots is too confined and with the amount of opponents swarming in, it’s not an easy plant.

The first spot will be on your right as you come through the north waterway entrance into the main cavern.

If you head across the water to the big building, you’ll see a vent you can open and crouch through. If you go through this all the way you’ll come out across from a staircase. If you go around to the back of the staircase you’ll find the timed explosives to plant.
