The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner took its first flight today at 10:27 AM PST from Paine Field in Everett, Washington. After about three hours, it landed at Boeing Field in Seattle, Washington.

From the Boeing site:

            "After takeoff from Everett, the airplane followed a route over the east end of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Capts. Carriker and Neville took the airplane to an altitude of 15,000 feet (4,572 meters) and an air speed of 180 knots, or about 207 miles (333 kilometers) per hour, customary on a first flight."
