Before taking my son to see the 787 at NGO today, we spent the morning viewing some videos by some of Japan's many aviation videographers. Thanks to the variety of spotting locations, there have been many angles recorded of the 787 over her tour of Japan this last week, and as we all know, she's looking very very good. I know it has been said many times already, but can I just reemphasize how incredibly quiet this RR-powered aircraft is??
