    Its the 787 For Qantas

    In a huge victory for Boeing Qantas has decided to order 65 787 Dreamliners with options for 50 more. These are firm orders and according to Qantas will help fuel their future growth. Qantas was also looking at the A350 . This puts Boeing's order book to well over 900 aircraft for the year, making it their best year in decades.

    I'm more excited to see the 787 then the 380 in person. The 787 is the future of air travel and Boeing has built the better mouse trap. Certainly exciting news today.

    I agree it looks like a big whale.

    The 787 is the first airplane that I am excited about, the interior is going to be pretty remarkable.
