I saw some pictures over on Yahoo. The paint is like glass. Overall, it’s a good looking plane.

Russian TV showed today about some researches made in Russia for Boeing 787. The all-composit fuselage also some main details had been put to the test in technical metrology laboratory of Central Aerodynamical Institute in Zhukovsky (near Moscow). Main load-bearing parts of B-787 will be making in the Titanium plant of AVISMA Co in the city Verkhniaya Salda on Ural-region.
Russian AEROFLOT Co. purchased 22 Boeing 787 (terms of delivery in 2012).
May be American TV-station forgot to mention about it?

The “crescent” logo was added when they acquired McDonnell-Douglas. Was MD’s logo long, long ago.

When did McDonnell-Douglas use a crescent in their logo? Can you post an example of what you're talking about? I'm aware only of this McD-D logo, and it sure isn't a crescent:



This was incorporated into the Boeing logo about 10 years ago, thus:



A little checking found this graphic of the two companies' logos going back to the 1920's. I don't see any McDonnell-Douglas crescent here. And none of these logos even remotely resembles the crescent used for the 787 Dreamliner:
