  • If I remember right, these fuselage assemblies get transported on a giant beluga-looking airlift airplane. Where the whole nose is the plane opens up to swallow fuselage sections whole.

    If you ship the door plugs uninstalled, you’re probably looking at a while separate shipment.

    There was an early news story where the subcontractor claimed that it wasn’t their responsibility to tighten the door plug bolts before delivering the entire fuselage subassembly to Boeing.

    I haven’t been keeping up with this news in detail, so it certainly seems plausible to me that some planes were found to be missing bolts entirely.
