Boeing begins assembly of 1,000th 767
Boeing has started assembly of its 1,000th 767 airplane at a factory in Everett, Wash., the company said. Mechanics took the first step in major assembly by loading the wing spar into the assembly tool, Boeing said. The spar is the internal support structure that runs through the full length of the wing. “This is an important milestone for the 767, which has continued to evolve and improve since entering service nearly 30 years ago,”
