Japan Airlines flew home from the Boeing factory in Everett, Wash. on Monday with not one, but two Boeing 787 Dreamliners, the first of 45 copies ordered by the Tokyo-based airline.
In 1930, the first transatlantic flight takes off from England. In 1967, the carrier USS Forrestal catches fire in the Gulf of Tonkin. In 1985, Space Shuttle Challenger launches with Coke and Pepsi on board.
