“This was our best year yet with attendance over 40,000,” said Family Day Leader Luisa Hawkins. “We are most appreciative of the 650 employees who volunteered their time to make the event a tremendous success.” 

“It was a great opportunity for all families to come and experience the Boeing production lines close up, walking around the factory floors. We would whole heartedly like to thank Boeing and all volunteers involved for organising this great event. It will remain in our memories forever,” said BJ Shah, event attendee.

 

Attendees had plenty to see in addition to the production areas where 747, 767, 777 and 787 wide body airplanes are built. The festivities included live entertainment by employees, children’s activities hosted by Radio Disney, an overhead cranes display and airplane displays – a 787 Dreamliner – on the tarmac in front of the factory as well as the 747-8 Freighter, 787 Dreamlifter and a 777 on the flightline.
