In addition to commercial traffic, Boeing has there defense headquarters located at the airport. Brand new F/A-18 Super Hornets and F-15 Strike Eagle fighter jets are regularly seen multiple times a week taking off, landing, and performing touch-and-go's on the airports runways. The production plant is located to the left side of the airport behind the original McDonnell plant. However, any close photography of the facility brings attention to both airport and Boeing security. | |||
