Departing Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport (KIWA) on her second test flight during her recent visit to the Valley of the Sun.

The engines are so big that it makes the airplane look smaller than it really is.  Is the Dreamliner a 767/777 class airliner, or is it bigger?

I think I saw something somewhere that said 787 =

- 757 / 767 Class in terms of capacity
- 777 Range and Efficiency

That sounds about right, it was smaller than I thought it would be.

Paine Field (PAE, KPAE)

Overflow of 787s on Boeing's ramps (notice none of them have engines).  There must be close to a dozen 787s stashed all over Paine Field, and there are at least four more at Boeing Field.  Boeing keeps producing them, but they can't deliver until they are certified.
