Really interesting stuff, Jon! Thanks for posting! :good:

I had the pleasure of taking the Boeing Factory Tour. I got to see the assembly lines for the 747,777 and the 787. Mind you it is awe inspiring to see 4 747 parked inside this building as workers finish to complete the massive airliner. The 777 line was a marvel of engineering as you can see in the pictures and when i finally got to see 787 line, I wanted to immediately get a job at Boeing. Awesome stuff really. If you get the chance to go to Washington state don't miss out on this.

Great pics! I like that standalone picture of the landing gear. An impressive piece of hardware.

Awesome photos Jon - thanks so much for sharing.

 

Thank you for the article too. I got to tell all my family and friends last week that something I work on was being covered by the Wall Street Journal - that was seriously cool!

Wow! Thanks for sharing.

I've been following you for years on Flightblogger! I miss the Movie Mondays. :(

Never thought I'd see you in this part of the net.

Keep up the great work!

Great tutorial, let me grab my monkey wrench  :lol:

I know someone put pictures for you. I thought since the LR is the first one coming out that this should be on here too. Sorry it is an old video so not best quality.
