Pablo M 201 Posted December 15, 2009 Share #1 Posted December 15, 2009 Well folks, the time has come, the historic first flight of the Boeing 787. It will be taking off from Snohomish County (KPAE - Paine Field) and will arrive at Boeing Field International (KBFI). Boeing has a live webcast set up here: http://787firstflight.newairplane.com/ffindex.html And you may also track it at FlightAware: http://flightaware.com/live/flight/BOE1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SevenEleven Posted December 15, 2009 Share #3 Posted December 15, 2009 How about the first succesful landing? I can't wait to ride this one myself when it goes into revenue service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metsfan Posted December 16, 2009 Share #5 Posted December 16, 2009 It's been a time in coming, congrats boeing, this breakthrough aircraft will save billions of tons of carbon and other emissions due to the lack of aluminum needed. Aluminum smelting is one of the most carbon intensive processes humans do. One alu soda can recycled saves enough energy to light a 100 watt bulb for a year. Good job Boeing for being a leader in environmentally responsible jet transportation! How'd she look Pablo?! - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenEleven Posted December 16, 2009 Share #6 Posted December 16, 2009 She's looking good: Source: http://www.airliners.net/photo/Boeing/Boeing-787-8-Dreamliner/1626145/L/ And more: http://www.airliners.net/photo/Boeing/Boeing-787-8-Dreamliner/1626159/M/ http://www.airliners.net/photo/Boeing/Boeing-787-8-Dreamliner/1626144/M/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo M 201 Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share #7 Posted December 16, 2009 Yeah, that she did. She is an amazing aircraft and I only hope success may come out of it for Boeing. The takeoff and landing was pristine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Louis Car 09 Posted December 17, 2009 Share #9 Posted December 17, 2009 I seen the video and I must say that it was an epic inaugural flight and good things come to those who wait.Now we are going to see a decrease in orders for the A380.I rather take a plane which is cost effective and enviormentally friendly than a plane that is good for carrying lots of passengers and which is overbuilt with useless amenities.And any ssmart airliner would be making a smart choice by going to boeing with this one.:tup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metsfan Posted December 17, 2009 Share #10 Posted December 17, 2009 This is a cloth/wood to metal type leap in technology. You can tell it's different just by the shape, especially the nose/cockpit. - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
