P8A Poseidon - Boeing Subhunter

I tried to email this out, but thought it would be a better idea to post a blurb here about this...

As most of you know, Ken works for Boeing here, outside of Seattle. Boeing is a huge force here in the Seattle area, as they have several plants all around the area where they design, build and maintain Boeing aircrafts and other projects. Ken works as a Software Engineer for a Navy Defense aircraft. He is one of (about) 250 programmers working on the project. He was hired on shortly after the start of the project in 2005 and has been asked to stay as one of 3 out of 25 on his team through the implementation stage of the project. What an honor! It is just a small testament of the hard work and dedication that he has to his job and to the company. And he loves to learn, so that always helps! This week, a news story was shown on about the P8A Poseidon plane on a local news cast. I just happened to catch it and was very proud of the information that was given. Granted, Ken isn't in the video but to know that this is the project that he is working on for our military is very humbling. We are even hoping he'll be able to take some test flights with the aircraft.

Enjoy the video. It's packed with neat information about the plane and it's capabilities and functions for our government and military.
