Looks like someone was up pretty late last night to get these pictures of the first 787 on it's gear headed to the paint shop at PAE.

Makes you wonder if the upward bend in the wings is due to engine clearance, aerodynamics, or structures. It sure looks good whatever the cause. The trend toward larger engines is of course to increase thrust by greater mass flow.

It looks like the B767 and B777 performed an assignation, and the result is the 787.

Wow....She's a beautiful ship.

Can't wait to see her 'officially'.

Me thinks I need to be out that way for her first flight.
