What is your exact issues with the Boeing tour
Maybe unfulfilled expectations and I'm being a little unkind. Visited in 2006, bought tickets at museum, on bus to 777 production hall, brief about 777 (holds X gallons of kero, enough to drive your family car X times to the moon and back etc etc), into production hall observation deck, only one aircraft to be seen, complete, in green primer, no people to be seen, back on bus to museum, and that was it. To be honest was expecting a little insight into the technicalities of putting an aircraft together eg how do you line all the bits up before bolting, riveting etc
