Not that interested in the 787 per se, airliners all look the same to me, what I particularly liked in the photos I've seen is the T-33 chase plane :D

Yeah. I think it's cool that they use 60 year old chase planes!

Hi ,

What have Boeing done with their F86 Sabre chase plane i wonder? they always used it but mainly for the 747 series, perhaps its a bit like me, to old in the tooth! :lol:

I have always been a Boeing fan but i don't like this one,still a first flight is always great to see, i really enjoyed seeing the first flight a couple of weeks ago of the Airbus Military A400,

Cheers,

Roger.
