今天下午 3:30pm Boeing 將會正式的介紹 Boeing 787. * Boeing 787 裡 65% 都不是由 Boeing 自己建造. Boeing 委託長榮航太科技改裝舊的 Boeing 747 為 Boeing 747 LCF (Dreamlifter), 來運送來自全球的 Boeing 787 組件. * Boeing 787 將是首架全機使用過半的複合材料製造的飛機. * Boeing 787 的窗戶將比 Boeing 777 大約 25%. 並使用按鈕式的調整窗戶明暗, 而不是下拉式的擋板. * 根據 Boeing, 787 將可以節省約 20% ~ 30% 的燃料. 原本 Boeing 是想設計為接近超音速的客機 (Sonic Cruiser). 讓旅客們節省至少 20% 的飛行時間. 但是在油價和 911 的影響下, 航空公司需求為省錢和低保養的客機, 造就了 Boeing 787 (Dreamliner).

1. 小朋友 8 歲以上才可以登艦. 8 歲以下小朋友可以到基地內慶祝七月四日的國慶日的場地玩玩… Don’t expect many activities there! 2. 基地是早上十一點起開放讓民眾進入. 進入基地的同時也會發放參觀的登艦卷. 最後一梯次是下午五點. 3. 儘量輕裝. 至少會有二到三次的機場出入境格式的 X-光掃瞄和檢查隨身物品. 4. 今年七月四日的天氣預報是炎熱的, 站在鐵製的林肯航艦上的飛行甲板, 就像是在熱鍋上的螞蟻. 開放式的軍機儲藏區像蒸籠(USS-Shoup 艦內有冷氣除外). 要隨身多攜帶些水和遮陽物品. 5. Everett Transit 自早上 10:00 開始, 將會有免費的 Shuttle Bus 往返 Everett Station 和 Navel Station Everett. 收班公車將於晚上的煙火結束後 30 分鐘. 6. Everett Station 可以搭週末班表 Sound Transit #510 (Seattle <-> Everett), #532 (Bellevue <-> Everett) 到達. 如果不想看軍艦, Tacoma Freedom Fair 於 1:30pm 和 3:30pm 間有 Air Show. 可以搭 Sound Transit #594 至 Tacoma Dome, 轉搭 Fair Bus ($3) 到 Downtown Tacoma Waterfront. 大西雅圖地區不少地方都將會有煙火施放, 比如 All-American Fourth of July (Everett), Ivar’s 4th of Jul-Ivar’s (Elliott Bay), Symetra Bellevue Family 4th, Tacoma Freedom Fair, WaMu Family 4th at Lake Union 等等.

Tickets to tour Lincoln to go fast [img=images/image_20050704_everett1.jpg popup=false] [img=images/personal_DDG-86Shoup.jpg popup=false] CVN-72 (USS Abraham Lincoln) 和 DDG-86 USS Shoup, 將於七月四日開放參觀. 不過開放時間是從正午至下午五點, 每個小時一次. 為了平息兩年前開放時的瘋狂的擁擠狀態. 今年將在 Everett 海軍基地入口處分發上船的參觀卷(安全因素, 限八歲以上的人), 以控制人數. 參觀卷發完為止. Navel Station Everett 將於當日十一點起開放讓民眾進入. 不過基地內是禁止一般民眾的車輛進入, 基地外的停車場也不大. 因此根據往年經驗 Everett Transit 會提供往返基地和 Everett Station 的接駁巴士.

Snohomish County 的華人似乎越來越多了. 剛來這個郡的時候, 聽到的亞洲人說話, 大多是說日文. 五六年前, 韓文開始氾濫. 對不起, 文字的敘述不好. 我的意思是說, 說韓文的人似乎就在幾個月之內, 隨處可聽到. 速度之快, 令人吃驚. 可能和說韓文的人, 有集中性的居住有關. 從去年開始, 聽到說華文的機會慢慢的增加了. 不習慣這種感覺. 總覺得似乎是到了南加州才有的現象. 我想還是要慢慢的習慣的.
