So what does the "ANA" on the fuselage and the vertical stabilizer mean?

I think we've got #9, but delivery not expected until early 2011. Still excited to see it in the air though.

Don't know. We're in the Seattle area and of all the plants here (4 that I know of, there could be more) there are only tours of the one up in Everett. I'm thinking it will also depend on how much governement work is done there. You'll probably just have to wait untill it's fully operational, or come to Seattle.

Me and a co-worker/friend was talking about how we need to take a trip to Seattle, even if just for a tour of the plant and then back.

Does that offer hold for any of the wingnuts on this board? Not saying I'd drop everything and head out there tomorrow (OK, tomorrow's Christmas; Monday then ), but one never knows what the future may bring.

Well . . . Any, but certainly not all you wingnuts! I have some passes, but not an unlimited supply!
