Nearly finished - a photo on Flickriver

Nearly finished

            Another from my 2002 trip to the U.S. finds us in Washington state, and in particular, Renton.

This is one of three major airfields used by Boeing in the Seattle area, and houses the final assembly line for the 737s. The fuselages of these airliners are actually manufactured in Wichita, Kansas and transported in by train - both factories are rail connected.

Bare airframes are flown out of here with 'customer preparation' undertaken at nearby Boeing Field. North of Seattle is Everett, which manufactures the widebodies, starting with the Jumbo in 1968. 

Thanks to the internet giving details of line numbers and first flight dates, I can ascertain the identities of these three aircraft.

Nearest: Boeing 737-844 bound for South African Airways as ZS-SJR. Line number 1176.

Behind that: Boeing 737-8AS bound for Ryanair as EI-CSZ. Line number 1178.

On the left: Boeing 737-76N bound for Westjet (of Canada) as C-GTWS. Line number 1179.
