I think he means tour the factories. Yes, you can tour the Boeing factory in Washington State. Don’t know about Airbus. ---

Specifically, you can tour the Boeing widebody plant in Everett, WA north of Seattle but not the 737 factory in Renton, WA. ---

> [@trjrfly](#): > > thx. can you tour the facorty/building of boeing in Chicago? No because Boeing doesn’t have a factory there. Due to crooked politicians (yea, I know that’s redundant), Boeing was offered a deal to move their headquarters there. Their factories are still where they belong - inthe Seattle and Wichita areas. ---

Last summer i did the Boeing tour of the facility in Everett quite facinating you got to see all the lines such as 777,747, and even 787 😃 . Though they treated you all like you knew nothing about aviation which i am sure some people didn’t it was still quite a facinating tour and you even got to see the 787s. I also went to the museum at their facility closer to downtown seattle. Nice musuem definately reccommend if your ever in the area. They have a concorde their which you can walk through. ---

Tulsa Air & Space Museum is supposedly in the running for one as well. ---

My guess is that one Space shuttle will definitely go to KSC’s museum. I think that a second would go to Udvar-Hazy and that Enterprise that is there will be sent somewhere else (perhaps Space Center Houston if they have or can make space for it). I think the third is the one that is up for grabs, but I’m inclined to believe that it’s more likely to go to a government museum than a private one like the Museum of Flight. My guesses would be National Museum of the United States Air Force (Dayton) or the Ames Exploration Center (one of the few NASA-only museums and would put one of them on the west coast).
