RE: The Official 787 Rollout Thread!

It looks great!!!! I absolutely love the nose profile. I can get a better sense of it's proportions now from the people walking around it. It appears to look like a taller, sleeker 767 or a wider 757. Verdict: Gorgeous. <img src="/discussions/graphics/smilies/checkeredflag.gif" alt="checkeredf...

After Delta saw aircraft 179 in real life (the first airplane), they changed the specification for the blue/white boundary. He also added that about four airp...

The positions on FlightAware also match and I actually saw them on my flight tracker today flying in formation bewteen the NYC area and PHL today around 1400EDT.
