WOW! Me likes.
Such an amazing futuristic and BIG airplane. I remeber back in 04' whern the program commenced and was announced as a sure fire plan. Sigh! My baby is all grown up now.
Amazing. Can't believe the rollout is less than 2 weeks from today.
I have to say it looks a little stubby. The wings and engines are sexy though. I think the -900 and -1000 versions will look even nicer.
What a cool airplane! I also remember when it was announced, probably my favorite airplane because it is the first I really followed from announcement to rollout.
Is it me, or does the 787 have HUGE engines?
I'm sitting here looking at those pictures thinking that Tommy Alfano will be there next Sunday...and...quietly cursing him! :lol:
LOLOLOLOL That's to dam funny Mark! I'm very excited and honored to be there. I fundamentally believe I'll be witnessing history as its born. This plane is going to change the course of air travel for the next 50 years and its exciting to be part of it.Quote:

early b-day gift for me

7-8-(0)7
No, that's the rollout. I think the first flight is in September or October.Quote:
