Assembling A Plane At Boeing

This 3 min. video is one of the assembly line at Boeing in Charleston SC . The amazing thing about the building is there are no uprights supporting the roof. Six planes in various stages of completion are under the one roof. When completed the plane is towed to the paint shop.

Boeing has a runway that connects with the Charleston Airport. It is from here that the planes are delivered to customers.

The 1,000th order was placed by Etihad Airways, Nov 13, 2013. Etihad Airways is the third largest airline in the Middle East and it is the second largest airline in the UAE.

But it's still too bad Boeing took that operation away from Seattle and moved it to a right-to-work state so they could use non-union labor.
