    The Offical 787 Roll Out Thread (Cabin Shots Added)

    Please read this first. Some Cabin shots are now here, while these aren't the exact cabin shots of N787BA, these shots were taken at the Boeing Customer Expirence center. This is the place were customers come place orders and basically see what Boeing is all about. This week I'm going to redo this thread with a complete overview of the Roll out, the 787 reception, and the Customer Expirence Center, trust me you are in for a treat as we were.

    The pics are here, click the below links I'll have them up on NYC later tonight. I'd like to thank Royal S King for letting me use his laptop to edit right here at Boeing. This was a fantastic event. Lots to tell Keep looking at the post and we'll give you more details.

    Well we've arrived here in Washington and the festivities have begun in a big way this evening. Both Mario and I attended the media reception at the Future of Flight where we were all treated to a series of flybys by a number of Boeing models.

    The event was very exciting Air Berlin even broke in with their announcement for the largest European order for the 787. The excitement here is amazing, everyone has the buzz and the folks at Boeing can't be nicer. Here are some pictures from this evening’s event, tomorrow we'll be at the roll out and I'll bring you pictures as soon as I can. Other shots will follow on Monday after we are given a private tour of the 787 mock up.[/size]

    Good morning. Well there is a wonderful air of celebration here, especially last night. I firmly believe its comparable to that preceding a shuttle launch. lots of waiting and anticipation.

    A few shots from last evening, one of participants in the Boeing jet parade


    I love this shot, a blind folded 767



    I love how the french sent a 777 for the parade


    N787RR lifts off with the 787 engine under the port wing.

    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    I am suprised no one has pointed out the first Delta 767 in new colors there.

    Mario -- you think Air France sent a 77W solely for this parade? I definitely don't think so. I'm sure it's a tripple that has yet to be delivered, and Boeing is simply using it in the parade. Although, I might be wrong.

    Nice photos, both of you! I look forward to seeing the first few B787 shots for nycaviation.

    One a side note -- I thought it was kinda funny how Royal S. King noted in a thread on a.net that he will take a photo of the B787 at the ceremony, upload it from his mobile phone, and Johan himself (the great one!...lol) will screen and accept it so that the image will be displayed on a.net within 3 minutes of taking the photo....as it is a goal of a.net to have the first photo of the B787 from the ceremony on the web. A little biased??? lol

    I just think it's so unfortunate that some people turn aviation photography into such a competition, with some great prize like getting millions of hits or something. I don't really feel that's what this hobby is about. Nonetheless, humans are often competitive by nature, so all I can do is sit back and just laugh at how silly we can sometimes be! :roll:

    Just sharing my thoughts, hehe. Enjoy the rest of your trip guys!

    ciao ciao

    Josh, you are correct, that AF77W was using a BOE callsign, so it has yet to be delivered.

    Secondly, I 100% agree with you on the a.net crap. Royal had his "parade" photo accepted within hours last night. Even for a Priority upload that is unusally fast. Just goes to show, screeners there get a LOT of favoritism.

    I am confident our contingent will have the best stuff tonight when the rubber meets the runway.
