Ameco Beijing Tour

At the conclusion of MRO Asia 2006 in Xiamen, China this past September, I had the opportunity to fly to Beijing for a tour of the Ameco Beijing maintenance facility and to take a series of photographs. Executive Director, Harry Seeger, graciously conducted the tour and talked about coming plans for the expansion of the facility.  Here's some of the pictures I took.

This first photograph is of a United Airlines 777 in the main hanger where it will undergo a heavy check.

Here we see the tail end of a Boeing 747 cargo plane operated by El Al. This 747 is undergoing a heavy check in what is normally the paint hanger at Ameco Beijing.

This is the front end of that same El Al 747. I must say the photographer was a bit nervous standing on top of an unsupported ladder to get this picture. But worth the shot.

Finally, here's a group of mechanics working on an Air China 767-200ER also in the main hanger.

I hope you enjoyed them. Let me  know what you think.
