Boeing has announced it has joined with the US Marine Corps, US Air Force and US Navy to celebrate the transformation of a 350,000-square-foot facility outside Philadelphia into a modern factory where company employees will build
fuselages for the V-22 tiltrotor aircraft and modernize the MV-22 fleet for the Marines, the company said.
Spirit builds the forward
fuselage section of every Boeing commercial airplane in production today, as well as wing and propulsion components.
Korean Air said it found no major problems with the aircraft after checking the
fuselage.
The first, seen in 1995, was different to anything else flying as it advertised the booking number along the
fuselage in giant lettering.
There's also a new orange stripe on the
fuselage and the '.com' has been removed too.
About 80 navy divers struggled with strong currents and poor visibility while trying to lift the
fuselage from a depth of 30 meters (100 feet).
Authorities believe many more bodies are still inside the
fuselage.
Just after dawn Saturday, divers began descending to the sea floor to tie floatation bags to the
fuselage, said Rasyid Kacong, the navy official overseeing the lifting operation from onboard the Banda Aceh warship.
Divers were struggling against strong current and poor visibility to lift the
fuselage and what appears to be the plane's cockpit from the seabed at a depth of 30 meters (100 feet).
