Boeing 100 years from a manual mill, developed into a leading global aviation manufacturing enterprises, during which experienced numerous ups and downs, even several times in the position of having to the brink of bankruptcy, but it is also of Boeing one hundred years of aviation indomitable persistence and pursuit, industry contributed to the world advanced generation after generation of civil aviation passenger plane.

Although Boeing has moved its headquarters to Chicago, the Boeing factory remains in Everett, a suburb north of Seattle. The factory, built in 1967 for the production of the Boeing 747, has grown over the decades into the world's largest factory building and aircraft assembly plant. At present, Boeing 747, 777, 787 three high-end twin-aisle aircraft are assembled here, and delivered to fly around the world. Boeing has opened its Boeing Tour to the general public, giving thousands of aviation enthusiasts around the world the chance to visit Boeing's aircraft assembly plant.

Getting to Boeing's Everett plant from downtown Seattle wasn't easy. It took more than two hours to get here by changing buses several times. This building is called the Future of Flight Aviation Center, which is also Boeing's reception Center. You must book the Boeing Factory Tour, which can be purchased in person or online, for $25. When visiting Boeing factory, it is forbidden to take any camera or video equipment, such as mobile phones, as well as bags of any kind. There are two rows of cabinets on both sides of the door of the visiting center for tourists to deposit their personal belongings, such as mobile phones, for free.

When you enter the lobby of the Reception center of the Boeing factory, you will see this life-like figure of The founder of the Boeing Company, William Boeing, dressed in a flying uniform. Born in Detroit and educated at Yale university, William Boeing founded Pacific Aerospace Products in 1916 with his friend Conrad Westervelt, a naval engineer. The company was later renamed Boeing Aircraft Company. At the beginning of Boeing, there were only 16 employees, and it is said that the assets of the whole company at that time were only 450 DOLLARS. However, Today Boeing has become the largest manufacturer of civil and military aircraft in the world, with about 160,000 employees worldwide. It can be said that William Boeing has played a decisive role in the development of Boeing.

William Boeing and Eddie Hubard flew Boeing's new B-1(C-700) seaplane on the first international mail flight from Seattle to Vancouver in March 1919. The 60 letters in Boeing's pouch were the first airmail in history. When the United States Postal Service launched air mail service, Boeing seized the opportunity to get involved in the air mail business and grew bigger and bigger, and finally set up the Boeing Air Transport Company, mainly engaged in air mail business.

Show scheduled at Boeing to visit reception center hall ticket office email is very easy to visit ticket that day, and want to visit the factory better before the visit the official website to buy tickets and make an appointment to visit time, while the basic have a visitors every half an hour, but may to September is the peak season for visiting the Boeing factory come to visit or very much, In addition, many of them are group tourists organized by some travel agencies, so if they sign up directly on the day, it is basically difficult to buy tickets.

This piece of propaganda picture in the head of the takeoff is known as the "queen of the air" Boeing 747, bearing the Boeing dream 747 from the beginning of its birth will dominate the sky for 36 years. As the world's first super large civil jet, it has the most recognizable shape characteristics, the Boeing 747's large passenger capacity and the ability to fly across the ocean let many people experience the wonderful feeling of global travel. I once took the Boeing 747-400 of Qantas to fly from Hong Kong to Melbourne. As The Boeing 747 is gradually retired from major airlines, it is a very rare travel experience to take a Boeing 747 flight.

Visitors to the Boeing Tour will be shown a video, presumably about Boeing's proud history and the Everett facility's vast aircraft assembly capabilities, after they are checked in. Then, Boeing's guide introduced the matters needing attention during the visit. The tourists were limited to 100 at each time, and they took two buses and were led by two Boeing company guides to visit the Boeing factory. The tour guides of each team were basically senior employees who had worked for Boeing for many years and were about to retire.

At the end of the Boeing factory Tour, almost every Boeing Tour visitor will not miss this little Boeing souvenir shop and take away some of their favorite souvenirs. Although small, the souvenir shop should have a complete range of items, including the most typical souvenir airplane model, Key rings, stickers, refrigerator magnets, hats, clothes, drinking cups and other daily necessities.

Spent a lot of time in Boeing's souvenir shop, which has a wide variety of souvenirs but is not cheap. I'm most interested in Boeing models, of course. Although I already have quite a few models at home, the Boeing souvenir shop may only come here once, so let's take some memories. I bought a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner model, Boeing's latest model, which I haven't had a chance to fly on. I'm looking forward to a chance to fly the new plane, called the Dreamliner, in my future travels.

Kerry Park is a must-visit for any photography enthusiast, as it is the setting for many Of Seattle's commemorative postcards and the perfect place to view the city's magnificent skyline. Kerry Park is located above Queen Anne Hill, although it is called a Park, it is actually a small viewing platform. From here, it looks toward downtown Seattle, and the Space Needle occupies the absolute C position. This landmark building in Seattle is very eye-catching with its extremely smooth architectural style. The snow-capped Rainier mountain in the distance also looms large beneath the clouds, and Seattle does have an important place in the list of cities with the most beautiful skylines in the world.
