Thanks a lot! Without this I would have missed it!

For those that missed it due to whatever reason i'm sure youtube will have a reply of the best bits of the flight now if not soon.

Took me ages to get connected but got to see 20 mins of it :)

I missed the landing, did he grease it?

Just saw the landing, they greased it!

For those who missed it, just go back to http://787firstflight.newairplane.com/ffindex.html and click on webcast. They are showing the takeoff and landing.

i just want to say, i thought it was magnificent.
stirring stuff, i was transfixed.............
we got it on the good ol' BBC
congratulations to all involved.

Nice video indeed.

I wondered when the aircraft was actually going to lift the landing gear up....

It was down for ages, I thought it was stuck at first.....
