The Last Boeing 717 Has Left the Factory
Boeing 717
An AP newswire article, via MSNBC, reports that:
The last Boeing 717 has left the factory.More here.
The slender airliner, trailed by dozens of the workers who built it, was rolled out before dawn last week and towed across a boulevard to Long Beach Airport.
Its delivery to AirTran Airways next month will mark the end of seven decades of commercial airplane production in Southern California.
At another sprawling complex nearby, thousands of workers still produce the Boeing C-17 military cargo plane. However, there are no new orders for the aircraft in the proposed Defense Department budget.
