I know its not a warbird but I thought everyone would like to know the news from Seattle is that the 787 Dreamliner has flown!

Notice the two T-33 chase planes?

[Pat Carry]

Yes, pretty cool seeing them.

kudos to Boeing people and colaborators for making this happen.

Long Live Boeing and God Bless America!

I'm thinkin' we might also want Him to bless the 23 foreign countries who provide 70% of the airframe, too!

She just landed on 13R at KBFI at 1:34pm with two T-33 chase planes
in formation.

Aviation history was made today (what a great day!).

It was live on Fox News around noon....

I wish I could get exited by modern passenger jets. They all look the same to me. Could probably tell a 747 from an A- 380 at a push though! Concorde was very nice though. (Awaiting incoming!!!!)

It was cool watching live on foxnews.com. The T-33s were cool, but come on, you're BOEING! Where's the FA-18 chase-planes?

Still, the T-33s were hanging on the props as the 787 started rolling down the runway. Pretty cool!
