A Trip?

[USAF Pilot 07]

NLovis,

Even if you get cheap seats, once hotel, transportation, meals etc... are all accounted for, you're talking about this trip costing people close to $1000 each. That's a pretty penny, especially in this economy. I think you'd be hard-pressed to find enough people willing to shell out that kind of dough just to go visit the Boeing factory, and maybe getting a tour of the assembly line. I'm not sure how controlled the assembly and flightline are, but from what I've heard airlines and factories aren't too keen on aviation "foamers" running around their property taking pictures of everything...

While I admire your ambition, this sounds like it would be better suited for an individual to do on their own time and dime...

i was mostly thinking of a 1 day event. leave with the very early flight tour the factory, spend the rest of the day shooting, eat, then catch the late flight back. Wasnt really thinking of a night over.
