Private 787 ?
Having seen a good few 787's in the last year, apart from the problems the programme is going through, it would seem that it will be a commercial success (as much as any of them are with financial wizardry). I know that a few will be delivered to governments as VIP craft, but I didn't imagine that they would be sold as pure private aircraft. Yesterday I came across this one N28MS doing test flights in the USA. If it is a BBJ replacement (?) who owns it and what kind of usage would it have bearing in mind it is designed for long haul ?

Well there were several when I looked that up, though none seemed to be the type with a deep enough wallet for such a steed 
I had thought that it might be Micro$oft or some Chinese billionaire gambler needing to flit between China and Las Vegas, seeing as the 787 is for very long 'thin' routes in the passenger mode.
