Boeing Event, November 2, 2012

The SAE Carolina Section Members Only event at Boeing South Carolina (BSC) was held Friday, November 2. It was a sellout with 30 SAE Members. A very special thank you to BSC for giving SAE Carolina the opportunity to tour their manufacturing and assembly areas, most fascinating.

We now know that all Boeing 787s 'go through North Charleston'. It is because BSC produces all aft fuselage and tail cones, even for the 787s assembled in Washington.

The tour was followed by a meeting and presentation entitled 'Unlocking the Secrets of the Wright Brothers' by Dr. Ash, Old Dominion University. A great presentation, lively discussion, and a geographical lesson about Kitty Hawk and Kill Devils Hill. Also mentioned was an obscure dispute between Ohio and North Carolina.

Thanks to Boeing South Carolina, Dr. Ash, and all who attended!
