Plane fun
Boeing has been pushing the frontiers of flight for nearly 100 years,
so it’s not surprising that many of its employees have a passion to fly.
The Boeing Employees Flying Association offers just that opportunity
in the Puget Sound area; the company also has flying clubs at other
major sites. Those who have learned to fly through the association or
earned their pilot’s license include an astronaut and several Boeing
test pilots. PHOTO: bob ferguson/Boeing

While supplies
last
At Boeing’s site in Long Beach, Calif.,
employees saw an opportunity to save
money and cut waste by collecting
unneeded and surplus office supplies
and making them available for reuse
at a convenient central location. Items
that can’t be reused are recycled or
donated to local nonprofit agencies.
