Spectacular photo. A blue sky takeoff would've been nice but the wet runway does add a little something to the rotation.

I Was there this morning to witness the take off, then rushed down to Boeing Field to witness the landing after Boeing has announced that the test flight got shorten by at least 2 hours due to bad weather! What an exciting day for aviation enthusiasts around the world and around the Seattle area in particular. I noticed that there is not a single French comment on this picture!?!? Congratulations to Boeing.

Boeing certainly "plagiarized" the nose of the French caravelle, which was in my opinion the most beautiful design for any aircraft to date.

French engineers should be working hard than criticizing the stunning creation which 787 is. A350 looks like an A330 NG.

The engineers at Boeing have once again done an outstanding job in aesthetics, not to mention all the technological improvements hidden under the skin. Truly an outstanding airplane and I am sure it will overcome all difficulties it is facing.
