If I'm not mistaken the last new aircraft rolled out of there was 737 number 100 or so, in about 1969, after which production was moved across the city to Renton.

Good stuff Hobo and thanks for sharing the link...

I love the Connie (although never flew on it).

The industrial capacity of the US was truly staggering. Willow Run bettered the B-17 by churning out a B-24 every 59.34 minutes.

Thanks for the pics Hobo - lovely aircraft all.

"She sniffs the night air." Great commentary and photos.

Too bad the TCA Connie left Canada.

Yes there are some great pictures. I thought so when I first posted it back in September of this year.
