Video promotes Washington state aerospace at the Farnborough Air Show
Showing daily on the big Jumbotron screen at a prominent spot beside the airplanes on display at the Farnborough Air Show is a one-minute video ad for Washington state's aerospace industry.
The Washington State Department of Commerce and Governor Gregoire's aerospace office, headed by executive director Alex Pietsch, produced the marketing video, which is also on youtube.
As you might guess, the star footage features Boeing. Its airplanes, including the 787 flying daily at the Show, are the best possible marketing ads for Washington aerospace.
(Right and on the jump, screen shots from the video.)
The video, shown hourly in rotation with other promotional pieces, showcases Washington state as a global aerospace leader with 700 aerospace companies employing 92,000 skilled workers and 6,550 engineers, and annually producing 1,200 aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles.
