First 787 Delivery as soon as August
 

Yes, that's 2011!

Boeing to Deliver First 787 as Soon as August - Bloomberg

Better late than never. Get it right before it flies. Just like I expect on my contract.

I'll believe it when I see it. Good luck to Boeing and good luck to the 787 customers who are going to be beta testing this thing.

Every new a/c or concept is beta tested by the crews and passengers. 747 with the engine problems, 767 with the hot start issues, round dial pilots learning FMC's, etc, etc.

Really? I did not know that.

Did the Boeing factory tour a couple weeks ago. 787 #37 was in final assembly.

Great...another shiny toy. We'll have IPads too. But guess what? No contract.

more beta testing - EMB-110's with the elevator vibrations. :eek:

Cheyenne III's with the elevator trim freezing. :eek:

This plane has been long overdue. Boeing should have just stuck to inhouse work to build it. Their reputation has definitely taken a hit. I just hope that the 787 is everything that Boeing says she is.
