Nice shots Jay. I just stopped by the airport on the way home from work. I didn't know that the Dreamline was coming, so obviously I wasn't in a great position for shooting the arrival. What a surprise. I'm glad I got a chance to see it. Wow! Those engines are huge.

Does anyone know when the 787 is scheduled to depart?

Very Cool! Was the backend full of test equipment, or was it decked out as a passenger aircraft?

Thank you!

No visible test equipment on this aircraft, it was mostly a passenger aircraft. They did have sections without seating.

Boeing's site doesn't have any info on it yet - but the original msg thread (http://azaerophoto.com/forum/index.php?topic=1661.0) - listed Phoenix through the 12th and San Diego on the 13th.

Plan on watching Boeing's Twitter feed on Monday for more info.

The engines had what appeared to be some extra wiring that I'm guessing was for test instrumentation. Incredibly large nacelles!

Scott Youmans · March 10, 2012, 10:03:18 PM

Seating up toward the front.

Great shots guys.

Excellent shots guys.

Did any of you get to get on ZA001 when it was at Oshkosh last yer?.
I have a bunch of shots inside and out on my Picasa page. The majority of the inside with all the test equipment and water ballasts are toward the end.
