The coordinates given are accurate to within around 100 feet of the factory building. When a company has multiple plants, a qualifier has been added in parentheses to the end of the name to distinguish between locations. Only complete airframe manufacturers and not locations that only make components such as engines are listed. Some of the plants that formerly built entire airframes now only build components. In addition, a recent trend has been to build an airframe in one location and only complete the final "assembly" in another. A similar [http://www.airforcebase.net/usaf/afp_list.html list of Air Force Plants] – with some overlap – can be found on AirForceBase.net. | The coordinates given are accurate to within around 100 feet of the factory building.
