The Boeing Co

The location of performance are Boeing, Seal Beach, Calif. (30%), Computer Sciences Corp., Rockville, Md. (35%), and Lockheed Martin Federal Systems, Gaithersburg, Md. (35%). The Space and Missile Center, Los Angeles, Calif., is the contracting activity (F04701-96-C-0025, P00169).

Boeing … Boeing … gone

BA was reported to be going cool on the project last year, only weeks after it announced its proposed alliance with American Airlines. That merger, the conspiracy theorists argue, changed the airline’s perspective of its fleet requirement in the longer term. Super-jumbos became less relevant if BA was going to focus on high-frequency services on specific Transatlantic routes, a strategy that demands more smaller planes rather than fewer big ones.

My first job after returning from England with the Eighth Air Force was working for PCA in Erie, Pennsylvania. The name was just changing over to Capital Airlines but I still have my PCA uniform badge.

I had 15 years with Capital in Erie then, as you know, United took us over and I put in another 20 years with UAL in Miami and Ft. Lauderdale before retiring. A wonderful 35 years from DC-3s to B-747s. I never had the honor of working on a 247. The 247 may be a thing of the past (almost) but Capital Airlines people still have a great relationship with one another and have an annual reunion in the Washington DC area every September. As a final note, several of us ex-Erie employees had a gettogether in Erie last July. Thanks for bringing back old memories.

Boeing 747-400
Boeing 747-400Ralf474 min - Dec 5, 2006Boeing 747
The Boeing 747, which is also known as the jumbo jet, is the largest passenger airliner in service. However, it will be surpassed by the Airbus A380 which is scheduled to enter service in late 2006. The four engine 747, produced by Boeing Commercial Airplanes, uses a two deck configuration where the small upper deck is usually used for business class. A typical three class layout accommodates about 400 passengers while a one class layout accommodates a maximum of 600 passengers. The hump created by the upper deck has made the 747 a highly recognizable icon of air travel.
