Boeing 787 first flight

[RealScenery]

This was a big week for Boeing with the first flight of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. I only live about an hour's drive from this big event and it was the leading news story for those of us that live in the greater Seattle area of Washington State. For those of you outside of the United States that may not have heard about this milestone in commercial aviation, I have included a link to Boeing's Web site which has several excellent videos of the first flight. These are longer videos with commentary by Boeing.

Once you load the URL below, click the Webcast link at the top right to view the videos of flight, takeoff and landing.

There are several excellent videos from local television news stations in Seattle. These videos are much shorter and show the highlights of the flight.

The wing flex on this airplane is amazing! Can't wait to fly on one!

Enjoy!
