'Magic happens': Paine Field aerospace center dedicates new hands-on lab
EVERETT — Edmonds College’s new training lab was once a high flying bird.
Last month, college President Amit Singh cut the ribbon on the Advanced Manufacturing Skills Center’s new “Innovation Lab,” a 12-ton section of a Boeing 767 tanker.
The 63-foot-long fuselage section, nicknamed the “Gray Ghost,” has been retrofitted and is now fully enclosed.
“The aerospace training lab will provide students with real-world work experience, and it’s the only one of its kind at an American college,” Singh said.
Boeing donated the fuselage last year to the college’s Washington Aerospace Training & Research Center at Paine Field.
