The first flight can be seen on a live webcast at
The Boeing Company.
The schedule is subject to weather, but the airplane is reported to be ready for it.
Thanks for the link - I'll certainly be watching.
The Dreamliner project has been thrilling to watch from my perspective - ex-USAF (airborn comm and radar maintenance), technically inclined, a lover of aircraft, especially the cream of the crop - transport airframes.
(The big birds represent the finest of human endeavor - incredibly reliable, society-changing bits of kit. NOTHING has improved the quality of life as much, when you really think about it...)
Hopefully, all will go well and the 787 will turn out to be another wonderful Boeing bird - joining the ranks of so many other great transports.
