What happened to the one in the Seattle? Is the space not big enough for B787?

Boeing will be assembling 787s in both our Everett, Washington facility and in South Carolina.

the people building the planes in the right to work states sure wont be able to afford to fly. You are probably ok with that ......right?

4 years behind schedule all grounded within 4 months sounds more like an Edsel, useing a buisness model that failed at McDonald Douglas.92 years of manufacturing nohow kicked to the curb.Maybe McNerney can get a break on the price of duct tape from his former company (3M) to get this plane flying again.

This looks like an impressive new facility. I'm so glad that Boeing is investing in right to work states! Stay profitable and keep producing great planes, Boeing! It allows normal people like me to fly!

Those look like Megalodon teeth which the Cooper River in SC is known for. On a construction site we had near Wash. DC about 8 feet down we ran into a black muck which held thousands of black, shark teeth but they were from a different species, more like Sand-Tiger teeth.

Boeing é uma empresa americana e tentam manter a maior parte da produção nos Estados Unidos.
