I had the pleasure of flying out of Boeing Field WA for awhile and they had the 5 test 787's there flying all the time. Beautiful airplanes and very quiet. Everytime one would take the runway the ramps would stop and everyone would just sit and watch.

Programme delays forced United to delay inaugurating its first announced 787 route, Houston-Auckland, which was announced by merger partner Continental in 2010.

So instead......

United Airlines announced Tuesday that it will launch flights between Denver and Tokyo with its new Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner aircraft. The daily service will commence on March 31, 2013.

I just noticed the placement of doors 2 L/R with respect to the motors. Yikes! I'd hate to the the first one outta that door during an evac.

747 is the whale, 777 is Bigfoot, 787 - Maneater?
