Boeing - Paine Field

[Donkey]

I came back from a trip to the USA last week and while I was there had a chance to visit Boeing - Paine Field. Unfortunately due to the current Machinists strike the regular tour of the factory wasn't running, I was however able to go on a bus tour of the airfield. I managed to grab a few shots of the flightline which was busy with 10 or so 777's, a 747 Frieghter and an interesting 767. I apologise for the quality of the shots, however in my defence they were taken from a moving bus through heavily tinted glass on a pretty hazy day - not a great photographic combination!





I beleive this 767 was originally produced as the test ship for the now cancelled E10A program which was intended to replace the C-130 Compass Call, RC-135, as well as some of the roles of the U-2S.













Thanks for looking

interesting shots, who does the 777 belong to with the red tail and stars?

I think that is the livery for Virgin Australian or whatever they call themselves.

Some interesting shots there, thanks for sharing them
