Factory tours? (Read 135 times)

Does anyone know if Boeing, Cessna, or Beech offer factory tours?  Next year I'll be going to the University of Kansas which is about an hour and a half from Wichita, which, as you should know, is home to Cessna, Raytheon, and a few other companies (Boeing has a factory too).  When I go in August we will be going through Wichita, and I was hoping to try and get a factory tour at one of (or all 3) companies.

Boeing does for the factory in Washington, but I can't find anything regarding the one in Wichita.  And cessna I saw some mentions of tours on the website but nothing else.  If I'm in Wichita it wouldnt be a huge deal to just go and ask, theres a little aviation museum in between the Boeing factory and the Cessna airport, so I'd be nearby anyways.

Just was looking around...Boeing sold the Wichita factory a few years ago to Canadian company Onex, which then started using the factory for Spirit AeroSystems, who makes parts for the 737 and other aircraft and systems.
