I finished my 12 week summer internship with Boeing in Charleston, SC today. It turned out to be a really great experience. I met a lot of people, worked on some important projects, and got to really see how Boeing the company works. South Carolina was chosen last week to be the sole site of 787-10 construction, so the workforce down in Charleston will only grow in the years to come.

I wish I could share pictures with you of all of the cutting edge manufacturing work being done, but that would get me in some trouble so you’ll have to trust me instead!

One of my favorite things that I got to do this summer happened just this week on a rainy Monday afternoon, when I got to tour the Delivery and Flight Operations Center. This is where they test then deliver the aircraft to the customer. I think if I were going to work for Boeing again in the future, I would need to be really close to the product. Just getting a short glimpse of what those people do every day was very intriguing to me so I’ll definitely be looking into opportunities there in the future.

That’s all for now, I move back to Greensboro, NC for a week on ~Sunday. Off to Sweden the next Sunday!
