どの機種の製造が始まったのか判ればいいですね！

Boeing has started building the first of four P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft ordered by New Zealand.

The four aircraft are set to replace New Zealand's fleet of six ageing P-3K2 Orion aircraft, which have been in service since 1966, according to New Zealand's Ministry of Defence (MoD).

A keeling ceremony on 16 March at the Spirit AeroSystems facility in Wichita, Kansas, marked the second keel moving through the factory. The first fuselage was placed on a rail to ship to the Boeing Commercial Airplanes facility in Renton, Washington, for the final assembly.

Boeing added that the panel and other fuselage components will be completed on Spirit's existing 737 production line. Boeing Defense, Space & Security employees will install mission systems and complete all testing prior to delivery to New Zealand.
