Noticed there haven’t been a lot of updates here lately? I have too.
To put it mildly, I’m deep underwater working on features for our pre-Farnborough air show issue which comes out on July 12. The traveling I’ve been doing lately to Montreal and Seattle has been in support of that upcoming issue and much of the information I’ve gathered is under embargo until that date. With deadlines rapidly approaching, my focus will be away from the blog for a few days as I toil away at my IBM Selectric typewriter in service of my favorite dead tree edition of the year.** On my end of things, expect 5,600 words on 787 and 747-8F, and what’s being done to get these aircraft ready for service and high-rate production.
When I finally come up for air early next week, I’ll be headed east, this time for an up-close look at Alenia Aeronautica’s 787 facility in Grottaglie, Italy.
Much more to come. FlightBlogger out.
**Don’t confuse my snark for anything other than an abiding love of print.
