Nothing symbolized that era better than Boeing’s 314 Clipper, which first flew 75 years ago next month. (The first Clipper is shown here after launch from the slipway at Boeing Plant 1 in Seattle in 1938.) PHOTO: BOEING ARCHIVES 14 ALL IN WITH BOEING Boeing and Alaska Airlines enjoy a special bond. They not only share a hometown, Seattle, but Alaska is an all-Boeing customer and recently took delivery of its 100th Next-Generation 737. And it will be first to fly both the 737 MAX-8 and MAX-9 jetliners. PHOTO: BOB FERGUSON/BOEING 30 BUILT TO LAST The UK is a major customer for Boeing military and commercial products and a key Boeing supplier. This special partnership began 75 years ago. (Boeing is part of a team at Royal Air Force Waddington that provides Distributed Synthetic Air Landing Training, shown, to Royal Air Force pilots and British Army forward air controllers and artillery personnel.)
