Magnificent, wingflex on a massive scale. Envious of you being there Mick

The magical moment of the first unstick...
Congrat for Boeing!!!

All right boeing! This is it!

Perfect timing! You hit the right moment...

The best photo from the best photographer on airliners.net. He should be hired by Boeing as their official photographer. Excellent color, composition, great lighting. This photo is perfect.

Yahoo! Positive rate! Congratulations, Boeing!

Finally!!!!
Such a Magnificent aircraft, wingflex is off the charts, Great!!!!!

The picture is great, my god awesome wingflex! this particular picture doesn't even resemble completely the incredible angle they made!

What a great day for aviation!

Let there be lift!

You captured "V1, rotate!". A great historical moment.

Great photo! Thank god the photographer didn't upload the pictures 2 1/2 years late.

The instant of first flight...awesome!

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

Nice shot Royal!

Finally!!!!! The 787 is so awesome! Best pic ever!

Thé moment! Thanks

Pure History here!!!!! Congrats for the beautiful pic and thanks for sharing it!!!

That helicopter looks a bit nose heavy.

Congratulations Boeing! What a great achievement!

I can't wait to see the A350XWB flying.
The A400M and the 787's first flights help me endure.

Right place at the right time.. You should make that your signature.. Perfect shot, the glare of he landing light just adds to it..

History.

Long live 787!

At last a new bird in the sky good luck and well done

Great Shot Royal. My heartiest Congratulations to Boeing - Nishant

Decent shot, but I prefer the one with the chase plane in frame.

Its about time :)

A day to remember!

Perfect moment caught forever! Great Job!

Perfect timing as the 787 lifts off with the spray from the wet runway

Very well balanced, action shot.
Thanks, Royal!

Great!!Good luck

I dont like the windows ... but the plane and the photo is awsome ! Good job to the people on the Boeing team everywhere !

In terms of timing, this is better than Boeing's own photo on their website.

Congratulations to Boeing for make this awesome plane.

It is a very historic flight as the first time the 787 took off! and look forward seeing it go into service.

What an amazing looking bird. At first I did not like her much but seeing her in the air is just amazing. Nice shot!

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.

As usual Mr. King is on the spot ;-) I am really looking forward to handle this beauty one day!

Congratulations for Boeing and all the people around this beautiful aircraft. I've been looking forward for such a long time for this day since I first read about 7E7. Wish I could ever fly onboard.
Great capture indeed, you have caught the right moment which has changed the history of flying - the magnificent Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
Thank You for posting.

MMmmmm Mmmmm .. i remember you that Boeing i a loser in the fight with Airbus .... Airbus is french and everythig how come from france is the Best !

Aa great moment captured and better because its not over=cropped like many airliners.net photos....maybe mr king didn't have time to use photoshop on it :)

One more historic day for Boeing. The 787 looks great. Can

At long last! V1...Rotate, and the rest is history!

To Boldly Go!

It lifted so quickly...wonderful plane, hope to fly in one someday...

Great to capture the first flight, this aircraft will be in service for many decades.

I really think that this plane is the most beautiful out there.

I'd love to see the footage from the heli-cam chasing behind it! :) Great photo. A great milestone.

-Akira from Japan

Boeing has a beautiful livery on her awsome 787.

A historical moment. Congratulations Boeing. Beautiful aircraft and very fuef efficient and enviroment friendly. A rare blend of (if I may say) 'Beauty and Brains'.

- Sagar B. Dhawan

I was there and it was truly awesome! Not even the cold could chill our spirits. What a great day!

And there she goes...a important moment in aviation history

Wow! So unbelievable the 787 are very successful during first flight tests today. I am so proud all of those Boeing workers are very hard workers. So I am looking forward to see 787 is coming into PHX or LAX.

Congratulations to B787 first flight at this great day, also is my birthday !!!

I was so excited as the wheels took off the ground the first time. It looks FAN-BLEEDING-TASTIC! Congrats to Boeing and everyone who worked on this plane. Looking forward to my first trip with it.

Finally, it's flying...
I'm so glad to see this beautiful plane flying!

Congratulations Boeing...She's so beautiful.

This red Eurocopter AS350 is very nice ! :-) ... Good luck for this beautiful Boeing and waiting for the A350 !

Finally! great shot

Beauty...looking forward to see the cockpit.

Practical and immaculately styled, like a super-car of the skies...

First Flight. How many of us get to see one. This is a great shot and the only one I found where the wheels are just leaving the ground. She is really AIRBORNE! Now I will look for one of the first touch down! YEA 787 and all who believed in her!

Beautiful shot of this fine bird departing on her first flight ever!

A dream coming true :-D. It truely is an awesome and beautiful aircraft.

My goal is to become a captain on that baby one day : )

This is what I call "beauty". And at this very moment, the dream of the 'Dreamliner' came true.
SS, India

Atta Boy Royal! Thanks for bringing us this wonderful shot and all the others from the land of Boeing. She's a beauty! - Brett

First picture of the first prototype in the first flight is the dream for every spotter.

So good to see this plane finally fly !
So disappointed to see that one more time some french people can't stand that Boeing is doing something really amazing with this new plane.

Excellent capture of a truly historic moment.

Wow! That's really a nice picture to have in you album. The very first picture of that kind. ;) Five stars granted!

Great moment in aviation history! Glad to see it fly! The Eurocopter AS350 is carrying an IMAX camera. That should be a great documentary too see some day!

Remarkable sight!

That red helicopter is filming an IMAX feature on the 787! Great shot.

Nice job Boeing! Amazing aircraft! Very nice shot!

In this photo,you get a perfect angle. you also capture the photo just as this 787 lands, with the landing gear just touching the tarmac. hope to see more photos.

Historic landing, great image at touch-down.

Beautiful. Congrats Boeing #1.

Good pic. Not as good as the A350 will be though yeah? I think that is agreed. Go Airbus UK.

Well it's about time

This photo captures the speed and elegance of the new aircraft. Love that lift on the wing!

Airbuses are lunchboxes and/or whales.
Boeing is elegance, beauty and true airline aviation.
Its great to see the Dreamliner take to the skies for the first time, Great Shot!
Future Air NZ 787-9 pilot, maybe.

Boeing always best. I love Boeing.

What a beauty

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.

What a nice airplane!

Way to awesome for my eyes! i like

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.

Very cool, but what is the thing hanging off the end of the tail?
