Boeing, Everett Factory Trip MAY 22nd 2010

Nothing was planned for this weekend in particular.
Went Boeing Factory finally.
If not for the factory tour, it was a rather boring place in fact.
The tour allowed us to see the various factory of the 747, 777, 787 production line.
Rather interesting.
Quite a familiar sight, given that I work in a hangar. Haha.
But it was way cooler. Neater. The moving production line was quite awesome.
Unfortunately, no photo was allowed on the factory tour. So not much photos to post.
The funny thing about the factory tour was that, Andy and myself were so engrossed in our own sight-seeing that we were left behind by the tour group. Most would probably know that security is super tight within an aircraft hangar, lest the mother of Boeing. So when they realised we were left behind, security was almost engaged to look for us. Luckily we manage to run up to them before they all board the bus and leave. Haha. One interesting thing that we learnt about the factory was how to operate the lift. Just pressing the "close door" button will not work. There are two "close door" buttons. We have to press and hold it. Until both the exterior gate and the interior gate were closed. Haha.
Some quite interesting photos posted below.
