A late phone call Friday night had me headed to the Boeing factory in Everett for a weekend of activities centered on the unveiling of the Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental, what is to be Boeing’s largest passenger airliner. This included tours of the assembly line as well as tour of the mock up of the new interior at the Customer Experience Center in Renton. Monday concluded the weekend’s events with a tour of the 777 and 787 assembly lines. Photographing the assembly lines can be a challenge some times as photographers tend to like to wander for interesting angles and those angles don’t always comply with safety rules on the assembly line. When there are a lot of photographers this can be a challenge for Boeing PR people, who were patient as they attempted to herd the press. Overall, I was pleased with some of the images I made. There are more photos after the break.
