The third 787 built, ZA003 aka N787BX, will pay visits to three airports in the US and one in Ireland over the coming weeks.

On Jan. 20-23, the jet will visit Spirit AeroSystems and Boeing employees in Wichita, Kan.

From Jan. 23-25, Hamilton Sundstrand workers in Rockford, Ill. will get to hang out with the new plane.

The Dreamliner will then jet to Dublin, Ireland for a visit with “airline customers, leasing companies, financiers and other stakeholders” on Jan. 25-27.

January will wrap up with a visit to Boeing’s facility in Huntsville, Ala. on Jan. 27-30.

The world tour showing off Boeing’s state-of-the-art composite airliner will stretch through April, with future stops to be announced a few weeks ahead of time. China, Ethiopia, Kenya and Qatar received the plane during the first leg of the tour in December.
