100th Birthday of Boeing

[ActiveSky 47]

On 15th July 2016 Boeing is celebrating his 100th birthday  

 

Would be really cool if the 747-400 Queen of the Skies V3 then goes to beta

 

Perhaps there is also another surprise :wink:

 

Sorry, thought out loud :smile:

..his 100th birthday

 

Didn't know the Boeing Co was a man? Maybe they will celebrate their 100th birthday.

Boeing sponsored a pretty good TV series on Aviation History, mostly their history of course, on Discovery channel.  "The Age of Aerospace," Web site here: http://theageofaerospace.com/discovery

 

I've read much of the information presented in the series in a couple dozen different books, but there were a few new gems to enjoy and the production quality was professional.

Hi Sebastian,

What could you be referring to by 'another surprise'

[Don t moderate me this way 882]

William Edward Boeing had been the son of Wihelm Böing ... and Boeing's 100th birthday would have been Oct 1st 1981.

And some nice new planes in a few years namely the 777x. Can't wait for first flight!
