PhotoStories 11: Boeing factory Everett

PhotoStories 11.        Each of photographs has its own story. Especially the one you get from the plane. We offer to you a new series of PhotoStories taken by the USA 2016 expediton. Today story of the Everett´s Boeing factory photo. 

The Boeing assembly line and building at Paine Field in Everett, Washington, USA is a building with the largest inner volume - 13,385 378 cubic metres with footage of 399 480 square metres. On this photo you can see its roof in the left bottom part. Here the B747, B767, B777 as well as the B787 get assembled.

The production of the unlucky type of B787 has slowed down recently in the aftermath of the two catastrophes. So there is probably more aircraft waiting for its customers and parked on the airfield these days than we can see on our photo taken during a Flying Revue expedition flight to Alaska.
