Quoting Jacobin777 (Reply 5): .even if there is a coupe of month delay.
Quoting Khobar (Reply 8): What 2 month delay, if ANA is getting their aircraft ON TIME?

Delivery of the FIRST 787 to ANA is already been scheduled... April 28th, 2008. EIS in May, 2008. Just watch... we will show you how to get a plane in the air on time.

Heck, by the end of 2007, there looks to be as many 787's in service as A380's or at least within one. We'll have to wait and see if SQ puts one aircraft in service by itself.

While were on the subject, has anyone heard anything about first flight. It seems from what I've heard that they are starting to receive parts. Does June seem like a reasonable target for the flight.

I think first flight is actually scheduled for August. I'm sure rollout will be before that and we'll already have had several looks at it.

First Japanese parts were delivered earlier this month to Vought. Those parts will be mated to the US and Italian barrels. Then Transported by air to Everett. Final assembly will happen there and in only a few months.
The first one will roll off the assembly line in March or April I believe.

Perhaps Boeing will do a round the US/round the world tour? I think it would be great if they flew into some of the biggie airports to show off their craft..
didn't the Concord do something like that? Thats the only reason why I could see it in some of the places it was photographed!

Everything I've heard (from family in the company) suggests a rollout in June or July and a first flight in August. It's crunch time for Boeing, let's hope they keep up with the schedule.

That's right! Two year delays what? The guys at Boeing know how to get it done.
Quoting Burnsie28 (Reply 10): NW receives theirs in like August or July of 2008, I can't wait!
Neither can I! I can't wait to watch it touch down at MSP for the first time, and be assured, as soon as she starts to fly out of MSP, I'll be booking a ticket on it, regardless of where it is going.

It'll certainly be all pins and needles from here till roll out. I've got faith that they know what they are doing... if anyone has proven to be truly a virtuoso at the large aircraft business, it has been boeing.

I can't wait for it to EIS, especially with LOT, which I often fly. But I wouldn't be so confident about it being so perfectly on time. I understand that boeing is a very well organized and developed company, and they are confident to what they say. But in such modernized aircraft with many new technologies, a small trip could cause a delay. But I wish them good luck, and hope that 787 will grace the skies soon.

it will be a long wait , SQ have ordered 787-9s which will not be available at that time - they will not get them until end 2010/early 2011

I know that Boeing awared some kind of work to a brand new facility at the CHS airport for the 787 project. Of course the plant is up and running, but does anyone know what part they play in all of this. I would compare this facility in terms of size with the five football fields.

I think he was talking about the A380, not the 787.
Anyway, I'm amazed that the first flight is this year! It seems like just yesterday I was reading the news paper and saw the tiny little article on Boeing's new 7E7.

Totally.
Bet they will fly it to the HUB airports of the airlines that ordered it and to places that supplied large parts.
