My Dad and son outside the Boeing Plant
シアトルは飛行機を作るＢｏｅｉｎｇ社のお蔭で大きくなった町です。今は飛行機が組み立てられる建物は世界一大きい(13,385,378m3)そうです。今回の里帰りでその工場ツアーに参加してみました。飛行機は何機が置いてあった中で、ＡＮＡとＪＡＬの飛行機が目立ちました。Ｂｏｅｉｎｇ社に影響が大きくて、従ってシアトルにも影響が大きいとの事。
My hometown of Seattle basically became a major city thanks to the airplane manufacturer Boeing. Today, Boeing's main assembly plant is the largest building by volume in the world (13,385,372m3). On this trip home, I went for a tour of the factory. Several airplanes were parked there, of which the ANA and JAL ones really stood out. Boeing owes a lot the Japanese carriers, as, by extension, does all of Seattle.
