Boeing Everett factory tour | Dreamlifter | Dreamliner | Airplane Restoration Museum | First 727

This video shows my visit to the Boeing Factory in Everett (north of Seattle) and the Airplane restoration museum, also at Paine Field in Snohomish County. As an aviation buff, and also an engineer (and also someone who applied a few times for positions there getting no more than a "Thank you" post-card), visiting this place was in my wish list for many years. The main reason why I went to Seattle was going to the Boeing Factory. I also had the chance (i.e. went there specifically for that) to visit the Airbus Factory in Toulouse-Blagnac in 2003. There are organized tours but I'd suggest that you'd rather go on your own, so you can stay as long as you want. The visit to the Everett factory, where all widebodies are built (i.e. Boeing 747-8, 767, 777 and 787) is a must if you are an aviation buff. The tour takes 90 minutes. During that time a guide will explain many details and show the production lines. I had the chance to see the new 787-9 in the final stages before being delivered to Air New Zealand. It is forbidden to take pictures/video during the tour. there's even an armed guard who encourages everybody not to do so. After that you can visit the Boeing Store to get some gifts and the Boeing Future of Flight Museum. Take advantage to visit also the Airplane Restoration Museum about 10 minutes away and also in Paine Field. I didn't know anything about it but the guide took me there. In that museum some volunteers devote their time to restore old airplanes. There was a de Havillland Comet 4C that belonged to Mexicana. You can go inside the plane, walk around and even sit in the seats. Outside they have the first Boeing 727-100 ever made, that rolled out of the factory in 1962 and was delivered to United in 1964. The Boeing factory building is the world's largest by volume. I couldn't make it there, but heard excellent comments about the Boeing Museum of Flight at the Boeing Fiela (aka King County Airport), close to Sea-Tac airport. I will leave it for the next visit. Boeing has another factory in Renton, where they build the 737s. In the past also the 757, 707 and 727 were produced there. Now I need to visit Embraer factory in Sao Jose dos Campos, 1 hour away from Sao Paulo, Brazil.
