So this is how they're made ...

Here's a special treat for a Monday. Amazing sped-up, time-lapse footage on YouTube showing a Boeing 777 aircraft being assembled and then painted in Delta colors before flying off into the wild blue yonder. Delta Airlines, located in Terminal 2 West, is one of our major partners at San Diego International Airport. It really makes you think about what goes into the construction of such a complex machine. Oh, and the video has some cool music to boot. Thanks to aviation blog Aircrew Buzz for bringing this to our attention.

2 things: 1. If anyone has the opportunity to visit Boeing's new museum at Paine Field in Everett, Washington- you should. It is awesome. 2. Just as a note- while British Airways used a 777 for a while on their London service, SDIA currently doesn't have any scheduled 777's operations.
