Default Boeing Surplus is closing - how sad

I read a pocket book on air crashes.... one you don't want to read again -
and this was while I was on a plane once a week...

The company would allow anything overseas or out of the shops - but the
wing held the secrets.

Another company could steal a tail and everything else and get nothing to fly
without the high tech built into the wing.

Once out - it spelled the downfall and demise of the company - and several
air crashes from bad parts (not spec) in new airplanes.

It's been awhile since I'd been there, the selection of goodies the
last couple times was disappointing. I got to talking to one of the
Boeing people there and he agreed. He says, "we don't build anything
anymore, we just assemble". Then he told me they were closing up in
September.


Does that mean the vital parts will now be made in China? Hmm...
