Literally thousands of Boeing employees and their guests line the floor far as the eye can see:

it's a bit strange only seeing 3 carrier's tails on the fuselage... how many are on order so far?

God's grace I start training on the 747 Classic today, humbly because it is a dream fulfilled,when I see the 747-8 I realize I have new goals to shoot for.

Thanks for the comments guys!

Manny, I can't remember if I did or not, I think I tried as was just too short. I did touch the engines and the gear though. I do have a photo or two of me in front of it - and one of them from the factory the day before inside one...but those will come later.


God's grace I start training on the 747 Classic today
SWEET!

Great job jeremy, bit jealous I wasnt at this event. I do have to say I do not like these colors one bit, the gray accent just looks wrong in my eye. They shouldve painted it half LH and half KE
