Boeing Everett Plant Tour
Wednesday, March 27th (see below for times)
The Boeing Company has become synonymous with air transportation through major advancements in the aeronautical industry with their 747, 767 and 777 aircraft. As pioneers in the "Age of Flight," Boeing invites you to tour their enormous technical center. A film presentation will inform you of their historical beginnings, present work, and future goals. You will then embark on a unique tour of the building and view the diligent assembly process. The building, the largest (by volume) in the world, is heated in the winter solely by body heat and the machines in use! You will view the aircraft in various stages of production from fuselages to near completion as they are rolled from each assembly point. This private tour will open your eyes to future technology and the aircraft of today and tomorrow. Note: Boeing prohibits cameras, video cameras or hand-held items - including purses - on the tour. Additionally, children under 50" are not allowed on the tour. The cost of this tour is included in your registration.

Available time slots at 1-4 p.m., 1:30-4:30 p.m. and 2-5 p.m. Space is limited for this tour, so it is strongly recommended you pre-register early for one of three time slots offered. You may do this on the registration form.
