It is an exciting time for Boeing. On 7-8-7 (July 8, 2007) the first 787 was built, painted and viewed by 15,000 guests. This is also a wonderful time for Advanced Integration Technology, Inc. (AIT) as our tools help build some of the individual sections and also assist with the final assembly of the 787 at Boeing's huge plant in Everett, WA.
