    Got some photos of the landing, weather was a little on the nasty side for a while, you can see from the photos... People were pulling over on both sides of the road to watch the landing..

    I've been in meetings all day here in Milwaukee so sadly I missed the live feed. After watching this just now in my hotel room it makes me very proud that I was part of her birth but more importanly a citizen of a nation that can design and build such amazing feats of technology. Those who say America's best days have past....well today America's best once again soared where some only dream to be.

    I've been in the Keys with my son on a photo shoot all day - saw this all when I got home this evening. An amazing day in Aviation history - and great coverage by Jeremy!

    and great coverage by Jeremy!
    Thanks.
    Let's not forget about the great coverage from Andy, who provided us with the tweets and the excellent video coverage! Andy also provided much of the behind the scenes set-up work for the access as well, and I owe him a huge thanks.
    Also to Phil and Matt who I seemingly haven't slept at all since Sunday night, and have worked hard to get Andy and I equipped to go live the moment we could feed 'em.

    Congrats to Boeing, probably one of the last images of what "risk taking" in U.S. industry did to make this country great. Not only was the first flight a technological achievement, their streaming video was amazing also. From what I've read, Airbuses coverage of the A-400 first flight "crapped out".

    Re: Official Thread: 787 First Flight

    Now that the first flight is over, is there a schedule of the next few flights? When? What will be done? Also - anyone seen anything on the B748 first flight?

    Not sure when N787BA/ZA001 is going to fly again, but I hear N787EX, aka ZA002 (in ANA colors) is expected to fly next week. Haven't heard anything about 748.
    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.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
