Boeing, September 19, 2023 - By Michelle Whaley - Boeing teammates recently assisted the U.S. Army in loading AH-64E Apache helicopters for delivery into C-17 Globemaster III military transport aircraft. Both products are Boeing-built.
Jacqueline Marzolo, who has been with Boeing since 2019 and started as an intern, helped lead the planning and execution.
“Delivering our highly capable products to the warfighter is a top priority,” said Marzolo, a project management specialist on the Boeing Apache Production and Fielding team. “We know the power and support these aircraft bring to our customers, so ensuring proper and timely delivery is key.”
Participating in a delivery to this scale is not an easy feat, as it consists of many planning calls and coordination between several different parties — Boeing, the U.S. Army, the U.S. Air Force and the local airport.
“It’s been exciting to see the delivery plan for our Apaches come together over time,” Marzolo said. “You hear a lot about how we’re almost a family on this team, and to see a family of Boeing products delivering to support overseas is inspiring to say the least.”
During the delivery, Boeing pilots fly the Apaches from the Mesa, Arizona, site to the local airport. Boeing Delivery Center teammates receive the aircraft, remove the necessary components and package the parts for transportation. Then, the Boeing team assists the U.S. Air Force in loading and securing the Apaches in a C-17.
“Not every day does one get to witness the delivery of an Apache via a military transport aircraft, especially a C-17,” Marzolo said. “So, playing a part in the delivery and supporting it is an incredible experience.”
