No one has answered yet when someone asked on the precursor thread — was the 777 roll-out like this?
When they call the roll in the Senate, the Senators do not know whether to answer 'Present' or 'Not guilty.' T.Roosevelt

Echoing my question in the prior thread, why TWA's customer code of -x31?
Would this plane, being destined for NH, not be a 787-881?

I didn't notice that the other thread was locked (I only noticed that once I got my post through), so I'm reposting my question: Isn't N787BA to be delivered to NH once Line Number 7 is delivered to them? If yes, then why isn't it designated as a 787-881?

I do not think so. I wasn't at an age where I would remember it but thinking about 13 years ago, that's 1994. Let me put it this way, how many people had anything faster than dial-up (of any speed) in 1994?
Always wonderers if this "last and final boarding call" is in fact THE last and final boarding call.

Yes it will, so maybe a photo database coding error?

I'm sorry but the presentation was boring as can be. I'm sorry for being so blunt, but it was like...like...like anything but what I was expecting. No balloons, no music (apart from the dreary piano), no real celebration at all - except, perhaps, the Italians. The ones in Italy, not the ones in the US.
And then when they "revealed" the plane, they only showed some closeups - I don't think they showed the entire plane.
And then the Airbus joke - what was he thinking?
Sorry for being so down on the presentation. I just was highly disappointed - I expected far more fun and happiness. This presentation was what I would have imagined a roll-out at Tupolev or Ilyushin back in the days of the Soviet Union would have been like if they were ever wanting to make a show of such a thing as an official roll-out. (I dunno, maybe they did). Right down to Tom "commanding" them to have more fun than the Italians.
Ugh, I need to go back on vacation.
25 NW748i: Actually, I was really hoping that the antecendent thread would break 1000 posts... At 988 'oh so close.' What's the record for a thread on a.net?
26 ComairGuyCVG: What a beautiful aircraft! Congratulations to Boeing and hope there are many, many successful years of flying with this type.

30 AirframeAS: The webcast wasnt closed captioned, with me being deaf. But what was the joke anyway??
31 Kalakaua: I really liked the music presentation, with the nose flutes and didjeridu... What is Boeing's new theme song, now?

185 CruzinAltitude: It was great to watch the live presentation of the 787 on TV. My wife was hoping that I would watch it on the computer in the office, but I had other
186 Slider: Just a joke, nothing more. If anything, I found it more ironic that Boeing went around the globe via simulcast to have the Japanese and Italians give
187 EHHO: The news can be quite stupid indeed. Even the reputable BBC has managed to show this picture, comparing dimensions of the 787 and A380: Why for God's
188 Flyorski: They may have thought that the A380 is the A350 Overall the Presentation was great! I love how the 787 looks, very sleek and very nice.
189 Yflyer: On the Today show this morning they said the 787 will feature "lower cabin pressure."
190 Mike89406: Always somone in the bunch has to be the one to talk negative.
191 Beech19: Actually at 186ft, its 6ft longer than a 767-300ER and has 41ft more wing and 4ft taller. Not to mention its tube is 3ft wider INSIDE. Oh... yeah and
192 S12PPL: This thing simply looks like an amazing bird! I can't wait for her flight testing to begin, so we get to see some air to air videos and pictures...I w
193 MD-90: Hmmm....I would think that the titanium frames are "in" the fuselage, and I believe titanium is a metal. I know, I know, they're referring to the com
194 OA260: CNN have a good documentary on the 787 now called ''battle for the skies''
195 SFO777200LR: Any pictures of the FAs all lined up?
196 AirframeAS: I was going to suggest that in the Site Related forum. It would be nice to see the 787 in the drop down menus of the photo search page. As for the th
197 BigPhilNYC: Some pics here: http://nycaviation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7303&start=30
198 MD-90: So what was the Airbus joke? I missed it.
199 SEAchaz: Hey don't discredit yourself like that - looks good to me! I had to cheat to get the quality - stitched panorama of 5 shots. You and the Mrs. did ver
200 Mir: GE and RR don't sell the fuel, so how is it bad news for them? -Mir
201 Flashmeister: For those who watched the broadcast/webcast... at one point after the doors opened, they did a high shot of the nose, from a camera positioned slightl
202 AvObserver: You've already been slammed for this but what were you expecting, a new-gen Concorde? Frankly, the nose to me doesn't echo the 767 at all and the sci
203 ER757: LOL - good one!! That's a pretty accurate description, but not unlike what I would have expected. When all was said and done, we sure got to see a be
204 Ayqzbr: A few people have commented on that and we noticed it while viewing the coverage as well. Has anyone else commented, or did anyone else feel, that th
205 BigPhilNYC: I've heard evidence of that as well. I don't think they make much of a secret of the fact that the inside is not done yet.
206 Ebs757: Has anyone had luck watching the roll out again on new airplane.com? I click on the link and it just says "loading" http://www.newairplane.com/
207 Aeroweanie: I noticed that - it means that the cockpit bulkhead, which is an important structural item, isn't installed yet.
208 Allstarflyer: How did the two of you manage to post the same 3 photos at the same exact time from different ends of the planet? Same user perhaps? So what's on now
209 MCIGuy: From Post 20 (LTU932) : King5 Raw Video They won't put a full interior in it until just before they deliver it to ANA. First they need to finish it,
210 IFEMaster: So, excuse the obvious question, but when's the first flight?
211 Jenkingeorge: Is it me or did he sound like he was enjoying that rollout a bit too much!!! JG
213 RobTrent: Wow some nice shots here - Love the wing tips and the RR engines. In fact I like the whole design. Nice one Boeing
214 Glideslope: I'll second on the Trents. Can't wait to hear them spool up!!
215 Bahadir: When i was flying over it i was surprised how 'stubby' it looked. I immediately thought of A310
216 AirframeAS: Tom Brokaw asked Scott Carson what his longest flight was. Carson replied back "From SIN to JFK on a slow Airbus." I found this out later from other
217 Sixtyseven: I hate to say it. But I think it's ugly as hell. Short, fat, odd nose, strange windows...... It'll be a hell of an airplane, but she's not much to loo
218 Bahadir: I really didn't appreciate the stupid comments by Brokaw about Kazakhs and LOT. Every country, people, culture has something that bothers another one.
219 OA260: Hmm well its all to do with up bringing . There is a name for people like him ''new money''!!!! Anyway BBC did a good piece on the unveiling. The jou
220 DrExotica: I am always amused by how many people on this forum seem unable to laugh at each other, much less themselves. The remark about onion sandwich eating
221 LTU932: And don't forget the small joke about flying on a "very slow Airbus". It was just healthy humour. People had a laugh, it was never meant to insult, a
222 Ebs757: has anyone had luck viewing the roll out from newairplane.com again? There is a link to it but it takes me to the premiere page and thats it. EBS
223 Airbus340: Totally agree with you...especially on the Airbus part... Singapore Airlines prides itself of its flagship, the Airbus A340-500 fleet (while they wai
224 JRDC930: Dont start a flame fest... and by the way if you had an airline and cancelled an order because of some joke, i doubt your airline would last long. A
225 LTU932: Not to nitpick, but the A345 doesn't fly SIN-JFK but SIN-EWR. SIN-JFK is still operated with a stop in FRA.
226 Aircellist: A question for those who have seen the plane from close enough: are there rivets on it? I can't see any on the pictures... And a question to the exper
227 MCIGuy: I haven't seen it up close but I don't have to. There are fasteners at all the places where the barrels are joined and where something is bolted to t
228 Allstarflyer: Hey, you got to see him - I bet he wasn't too disappointed. He probably pushed his boundaries a bit. "Everybody line up on both sides of the runway,
229 MCIGuy: No problem. It's because they don't want to lock in on a date so they can have a cushion against "unforeseen issues". Â [Edited 2007-07-10 03:52:10]
230 Baxter: Wasnt somebody asking for a close-up of the second section of flags... The logos behind the door... I have a shot of them... I was looking at my photo
232 Baroque: Well those whose knowledge comes from the TEEV, there are no Ti frames! More irritating than bad I guess. I have just a feeling that both GE and RR h
