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

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

So .....
Boeing owned
Lockheed designed
Canadair built
Rolls Royce powered
T-33s
Can't beat a bit of international co-operation

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!
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.

Ship #2 (ANA livery) has flown as well, but it experienced an important landing gear issue
