787 No. 1., aka ZA001,aka N787BA, rolled around under its own power for the first time this morning, according to a post with photos on FlightBlogger (http://www.flightglobal.com/blogs/flightblogger/2009/07/first-pictures-787-low-speed-t.html).

A more recent Twitter post indicates that she has performed her first high-speed/rejected takeoff roll this afternoon, and is preparing for a second run.

Thanks for posting. She looks a lot prettier on the move than sitting still me thinks!

Thanks again
