    Flights not over yet, I am not holding my breath since the FAA Stopped letting Pilots be Pilots!
    Remember what they did to Santa's Engines?

    Boy the 787 is a beauty. You can easily tell this plane is different by the beacon and strobe lights. A new chapter in aviation history has begun.

    Boeing says 787 will land a bit early, 1:00pm local time, about 15 mins from now.

    Looks like some heavier rain heading toward BFI, could be the reason.
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.

    Looks like it will be closer to 1:15, FlightBlogger confirms it's due to WX.

    On the ground now. Incredible wing flex on landing, too.

    What a beautiful piece of machinery. Hopefully the squwaks were few and they can ramp up the flight testing and deliver in late 2010.

    Man, they REALLY lucked out with the weather. That drizzle turned to pretty steady rain as we were all stuck in the PAE-exodus
