I just read that Boeing is going to put it's first 787 in the air at 10 a.m. this Tuesday. Best of luck to them and I hope it goes well.

You can watch it live at www.boeing.com . Boeing say's the site will go live 24 hours prior to flight.
That'll be 10am local time?
6pm for us Brits!
If you cant get into the Boeing site goto CNN.com, it's jammed
it has video no audio
its airborne and going ifr! lol
From the looks of it, I would say he actually went IFR before the clearance.Quote:

I missed the landing, did he grease it?

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.....
Thats quite normal.Quote:
