They are building 17's alongside 16's? I thought it was supposed to be a complete retooling of the plant like when they gutted the 150 plant? 2016 production ends July 11th and job 1 17's doesn't start until August so I'm guessing by your cryptic response that these are further prototypes?

They have the ability. Not on a mass scale yet though.

I see one thing I don't like and that's the air diffusers. I love the current simple round ones. You can direct air in any direction and they are robust. In the past, the ones with multiple vanes get broken and cost a fortune to replace. However, if Ford gave me a 2017, I would't complain!
