How do I put an aircraft in X-plane 10 downloaded from steampowered?

Question

I'm new on X-plane. I've already seen that to put an airplane, I should download it, unzip and put in the aircraft folder. But the thing is that I downloaded the X-plane 10, so I don't have a specific folder with the contents, like a folder for the aircrafs. I can just see the folder "Aircraft" when I open the game, clicking on the icon "X-plane 10 Global - 64 bit". But I'm having a hard time to copy the T-45 once the game is already open and running. I guess it's not possible. Can anyone give me an idea?

Thanks!

Do not run your game. If you have Steam version, search X-Plane 10 in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common folder and unzip your file and copy the content to Aircraft folder.
