Also a number of years ago (may still be there?),there was a program
in Seattle that used inner city youths under a A & E to build 49.9% of
your airplane. You bought the material and did 50.1% of work. Boeing
helped support the program and hired some of the individuals after
they learned some airplane skills I was told. Possible some of our
Seattle types might comment on this program and have a contact you
could contact for info on it and how they got around the liability?

Sounds like Opportunity Skyways...EAA Chapter 26 meets in their shop at Boeing
Field. However, I don't think they build flying airplanes anymore. They take a
school year to assemble a Zenair or RANS, then it gets disassembled and the next
year's class does it again.
