Some of Boeing's product development engineers, the men and women who are secretly working on the company's jetliners of the future, enjoy old airplanes of the past, just like most airplane fans. And one of those old jets is a de Havilland Comet that is being restored by the Museum of Flight at Paine Field in Everett.

Boeing developed military jets such as the B-47 Stratojet, B-52 Stratofortress, KC-135 Stratotanker in the late-1940s and into the 1950s. During the early 1950s, Boeing used company funds to develop the 367-80 jet airliner demonstrator that lead to the KC-135 and later Boeing 707.

One would think a large company such as Boeing would investigate more humane solutions before undertaking such a Draconian measure as eradication. Actually, several advocacy organizations have urged Boeing officials as far back as May, 1999, to consider a TNR (Trap/Neuter/Return) program for the Long Beach ferals. TNR programs are working all over the world, and feral experts know that eradication programs simply don't work. Feral cat colonies have a very solid structure. Kill a few, and a few more will move in to replace them. Kill all of them and you're creating space for a whole new colony to spring up.
