When I went through 20 years ago, it laid claim to “largest building in the world by volume.”

Not sure if it’s retained that title, but the inside is just insanely vast.

I knew a couple of people that had old bicycles from that plant. I'd love to own a Boeing bike.
This antique store had one on the floor, at least a few weeks ago.

Still is, according to wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_buildings

Amazing to me that a building over half a century old is still the largest in the world.

If I recall correctly, that building was so vast that they had trouble controlling the weather inside on a few occasions. Trouble as in, clouds were forming and rain was falling.

May that's just myth, but I like that myth enough to not google it.

They claimed this when I visited in 2019 as well.
