I was in Seattle for 4 days, and well, I had to go to Boeing.  I saw LAN's, the one used at the Farnborough airshow, and an ANA one.  I saw United's and man, is she good looking! Here are a few shots of her

This is the best drive to work ever I think!
...


The tail of her.  You can see the blended winglet also.
...


And there she is!  The stripe does a world of wonder!  The new paint looks good on the 787!
...


A little closer well driving behind the runway ...


And the tip of the tail!  ...


I would like to say I am NOT driving, it was my dad!  And we drove acros the factory and they had the nager door cracked open for the 747.  The usually dont do that!  Grin

Wow looks good! Hope she will be in service soon... I'll be flying through Houston next month on United, and it would be great to see her there!
 

My specs... A hard drive, motherboard, graphics card, some memory, a keyboard, mouse, and monitor - in other words, nothing special.

I hope to get some 787s this side of the pond in the near future... They look wonderful!

According to Aviation Week, that is exactly what they are doing.....besides dropping engine parts... Roll Eyes

It was due to a shaft error.  Tongue
