Man Posts Photos on Boeing Facebook Page, Gets Invited To 747 Launch

"There aren't too many things that really can be called the opportunity of a lifetime but this is one of them," Hampton said. "My heart has always been with aviation. I attend as many air shows as I can and I always bring my camera. It's amazing. I have been thinking about it and talking about it since I got the call last week."

“I’m amazed that Boeing is doing this for me just because of some pictures I posted to the Boeing Store’s Facebook page.”

This last weekend, Dr. Jeremy Hampton, an aviation enthusiast and amateur photographer was Boeing’s guest at the debut of the newest 747 passenger plane, the 747-8 Intercontinental.

Dr. Hampton came to Boeing’s attention when he posted his photos on The Boeing Store’s Facebook page, where he was twice recognized for submitting the “Photo of the Week.”

“We are trying to find a few unique opportunities during each year for some of the more than 73,000 fans we have on our Facebook page to engage with Boeing,” said Director of Brand Management & Advertising Jim Newcomb.
