Boeing Factory Tour (no pictures allowed)
The Boeing Factory, largest building by Volume in the world is that one on the left
with the blue doors, no cameras or cell phones allowed inside where you can fit
about a dozen 747's, its so big it looks small.
To put things into perspective, in the background there is a six lane freeway.
The pregnant plane on the right is a modified 747 used to bring large plane parts to the factory and the building behind it is the Paint Hangar.
30,000 people work here and they have shuttle busses from the car park to the
factory.
