During the first 1.5 hours of the tour, attendees will be guided through the Boeing Everett facility as they observe the 777 production bays, check out the new 737 north production bay, and learn all about Boeing aircraft production! During the second 1.5 hours of the tour, attendees can check out the Future of Flight museum exhibits (such as the B747 tail) and the Skydeck plane-spotting area, where you can spot bare-metal Boeing B777Xs and new Boeing aircraft straight out of the factory! In the museum, there is a cafe available for lunch. This tour highlights the scale and innovation behind Boeing’s manufacturing operations.
