For the ignorant like me, what [is] the purpose of BFI and how does it officially relate to Payne Field (PAE) regarding Boeing operations and manufacturing etc... ? Is BFI a paint facility/ or some other specific thing happens there that does not happen up top?
Thanks :cool:

BFI = 737 flight test base, base for all flight test programs (currently 748 & 787) - also for the IDS ramp with the Boeing military: 757 Catfish, 707, Wedgetails, P8 Poseidon, etc...painting not done at RNT is done here. Notable wide-body deliveries and some carriers will take delivery from Boeing Field because the local taxes are less at BFI than PAE
RNT = 737 manufacture facility and initial 737 test base - some of the 737 painting is done here.
PAE = manufacture and general test base for everything but 737.
