Retired Boeing engineer for Der Spiegel

Retired Boeing engineer Stan Sorscher poses for a portrait in Mukilteo, Washington, USA, on Thu., Feb. 22, 2024. Sorscher worked for Boeing for 20 years and also served as an elected official and staff member in the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA) professional labor union.

For the German newsweekly magazine Der Spiegel, I photographed retired Boeing engineer Stan Sorscher and the sights around Paine Field near the Boeing Everett Factory.

This was the last of a series of coverage of starting in January with the New York Times’ initial report about an Alaska Airlines flight losing a door plug in the air and continuing through the past couple of months of tumultuous news for the company.

Many of these images are now available for licensing via Redux and Zuma Press.
