Boeing's Charleston Plant Turns Out First 787-10 Dreamliner

Boeing's (BA) - Get Report  plant in Charleston, S.C., just had the most dramatic week in its history, a week that made it seem that the sky is the limit for the future of the five-year-old plant.

On Feb. 15, plant workers voted overwhelming not to join the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, seemingly reaffirming right-to-work South Carolina's success in 2009 in luring Boeing here, far from the Washington workers who had built all of its legacy commercial aircraft for decades.

On Feb. 17, the first Boeing 787-10 rolled off the assembly line -- marking the debut of the first airplane produced exclusively in Charleston. No 10s are built in Everett, Wash.
