wow, I wasn’t aware that Boeing was actually that old. I thought they’d have been a child of the second World War, or the glorious 20’s… seems I was wrong.

Hey, dim :)
Yeah, they started building seaplanes way back, and then competed with Douglas in the first big airliner boom. A lot of the major aircraft companies (except for Airbus) were founded before the 1920s. Now they’ve all merged into megacorporations though. :(
