Inside the Boeing 787 Dreamliner & Inside the DreamLifter & Boeing Factory Everett
Since most will never get to go inside the Boeing 747 DreamLifter and very few have been inside the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, here is a video that shows the inside of these aircraft. You will also see the inside the Boeing Factory to see the 747-8 Intercontinental and the 787 Flight Line.
This was taken as part of the Star Alliance Mega Do II. This was the Boeing Factory Tour in Everett, Washington. This Boeing tour was one of the most amazing things I have ever done!!!
In this video you will see us landing at Paine Field on a Continental Airlines 757-300. Then we disembark and head to a briefing from Boeing at the Future of Flight Museum where they tell us we are the FIRST civilians from the general public to go on the 787 Dreamliner!!! You will see the Boeing 787 Dreamliner outside and inside as well as the inside of the Boeing 747 DreamLifter, which very few have seen. You will also see the new 747-8 Intercontinental being built as well as the 787 Dreamliner inside the Boeing Factory. I want thank to everyone at Boeing for doing this! It was truly amazing and something I will never forget!!!

co777dal,
Thanks for posting. And good choice of shots - I'm in at least 7 or 8 of them.
I still can't believe I actually saw all this, but the pictures just reminded me how cool the tour was. Boeing rocks!

Thanks for the efforts, I appreciate it. And I apologize if I sounded harsh, but I often think that one or another video would be nice to watch and then I can't due to copyright issues with the music.

German authorities are very strict with license issues. YouTube otherwise have to pay the GEMA fees.

You should complain to the stupid GEMA... Btw use hidemyass.com next time, it's a proven way to come around this issue...

Nice video! I was lucky enough to spend some time on the factory floor/flight line in Everett a few years ago before my dad retired from Boeing--definitely beats the standard tour! Pardon me for not knowing, but what IS *A "Mega-Do"?

Interesting that Boeing touts the new welcoming architecture of the 787 at the embarkation doors -- the sweeping, back lit ceiling intended to lift the eyes and convey space - yet with the test plane anyways the entrance seems to have the same ole floor to ceiling galley that completely closes in the entrance and hides the ceiling! I wonder what the airlines will do with this area.

The arch is an option. Some airlines have it, some don't. If you don't, and chose to put a galley there, there are still arch-like elements in the ceiling (they're visible in some of these photos if you know where to look).
