The rollout speeches are boring, but the plane looks cool. I saw a program on it yesterday and it uses composite plastics to make it lighter and stronger than if it was made from aluminum. Also, it has two big ol’ bad-ass engines instead of 4 smaller ones. A good looking bird for sure.

Nice touch, adding the ISLAMIC CRESCENT to their logo!
From www.boeing.com:
Hmmm... I seem to recall SOME connection between Islamic terrorists and commercial airplanes.
What WAS that connection???

I swear I think we saw this thing shortly after takeoff at the Bangor Airport. I tried to get a photo but couldn't’t get my phone out of my purse fast enough. At first we thought it was An-225 but it was a commercial airliner. It was huge!

While government threaten to mess things up big time, America’s private sector keeps pulling the world forward.

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?
