Boeing's Defense, Space and Security Division has rolled-out the 100th Boeing P-8 Poseidon for the United States Navy. The aircraft entered final assembly at Boeing's 737 Production Line in Renton, WA, this past April. The aircraft still must complete proper flight testing and be fitted with top secret equipment before being delivered as the 86th Boeing P-8 Poseidon for the United States Navy.

Approximately 100 Boeing employees gathered outside of Boeing's Renton facilities for a photo-op with the aircraft to celebrate the important milestone.
