[edit] 777 bigger than 747

This page states that the 777 is larger than the 747. I don't think this is true. It looks like the 747 is slightly larger, and seats more people than the 777.

[edit] Proposal to vastly scale back this page

What is the objective of this page? I think it should provide information on the Boeing Everett Factory not reiterate (almost verbatim) information on every wide body Boeing plane. Links to the 747, 767, 777, and 787 pages should be included, but the information should be removed from this page. Let's strive to include information such as date of construction of the building, major expansions, big rollout dates, world records, on-site workforce, overhead crane accidents, etc. --ABQCat 18:01, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Ok, so I removed the information on Boeing aircraft after a quick examination revealed the text of the sections on the 747, 767, 777, and 787 was taken directly from existing articles. --ABQCat 18:32, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What to include

Some ideas I had for what to include on this page: a picture of the factory, rollout pictures if available, detailed statistics on the building, construction cost if available, workforce, power consumption, location. Any other ideas would be great - this building is awesome. The article should be equally so. --ABQCat 18:32, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

I, Wiki890 just made a picture of the factory! Check it out! -Wiki890 (talk)

[edit] Coordinates

Where is this on Google earth, why has no-one posted the coordinates of such a significant building? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.143.230.211 (talk) 20:08, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

I will try to get one up soon along with the Renton factory. ComputerGuy890100^Talk_Polls 04:55, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

And you it wrong. There's nothing at those coordinates except a few residential houses near Maple Heights-Lake Desire, Washington. -- VegitaU (talk) 22:05, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Edit: Swap the decimal value you have now into degrees as is and you'll be right on target. I don't know how to do that myself. -- VegitaU (talk) 22:09, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

This just got fixed. --Richardrj ^{talk email} 12:47, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
