My Choice




My choice of topic today is the infamous Boeing 747 series. The Boeing company is the world's largest aircraft manufacturer. It's headquarters is here in Chicago, Illinois. It is also the world's second largest aerospace and defense contractor. The Boeing company was started by William E. Boeing. He was from the west in Seattle, Washington. He had own an lumbering company. Then one day he saw a manned flying machine and he liked it a lot. So he started to invest in making planes. He called his investment the Boeing Airplane Company. So the military bought 50 planes from the company, which had jumpstarted the company. Now fast foward to 2009 and they're the largest aircraft manufacturer in the world. The Boeing company has many planes that they make, such as the 737, 747, 767, 777, 787. All of these planes are made in series. The most famous series is the Boeing 747 series. The 747 series is the most famous series for multiple reasons maybe because of their double deck, or spacious leg room, or maybe because one of its models have 400 seats. Airlines are well aware the more people they have the more money they make. So airlines spend money to make money, thus making the Boeing 747-400 the most famous/favorite plane in the world. So until next time this Gerald signing off saying, be light, fly high, and ball right.
