Flash Forward—Part Four: The Continued Progress of Our First 737-800

By: Brian Lusk blusk

Feb 14 2012
In our last installment, the future N8301J was in the first position of the moving assembly line at Boeing’s Renton, Washington, assembly plant.  It's really incredible to me that it's possible to assemble a bunch of metal and other materials into a machine that will not only soar safely through the heavens, but it will do it in rain, snow, and extreme heat for the next 20 years or so.... read more

By: Gabe Briones gbriones

Jan 03 2012
Do you ever find yourself sifting through a pile of paper at your desk looking for your meeting notes and those few to-do items? Or, have you mistakenly throw away that action item for this week’s deadline? This has certainly happened to me (d'oh!), so I decided to try something new. I picked up a small, magnetic dry erase board from Urban Outfitters for about $10 for my work station. It’s a... read more
