On a recent trip to the United States, I stopped off to a nice warm welcome in Seattle, followed by a worthy day spent at the hatchery during the Issaquah Salmon Days festival that ran earlier this month – although pictures of half eaten fish aren’t nearly as interesting as half-completed airplanes!

If nothing else, visiting the festival is certainly recommended if you’re in the Pacific Northwest and have an insatiable appetite for marine cuisine.

In between all that, ZA100 and ZA101 awaited me in Everett (with ZA100, the first 787 destined for launch customer All Nippon Airways which had since been residing in the paint shop) as well as an extensive look at the 747-8 production line.
