AEI’s airframe experienced employees dedicate themselves to ensuring all of our customers receive the highest quality parts possible on schedule. The results are clear; the first article unit shown in the attached picture was delivered ahead of schedule and on budget. Congratulations to the Boeing/AEI team for a job well-done.
