SUCCESS! The plane was AMAZING taking off. Above is my video of the event. Everyone was cheering as the 787 flew over us. It will conduct 5hrs of tests and then land south down at Boeing field in Renton, WA. It was wonderful to be a part of this event, thank you to the Future of Flight for having me.

UPDATE 12:37pm: Boeing is reporting that the first flight will end early, landing at Boeing Field at 1pm. No official word from Boeing why the flight is ending early, but Boeing said they might end early. Could be weather, it has gotten much worse since liftoff.
UPDATE 1:03pm: Boeing is stating the flight is ending early because of weather, no problems with the plane. Boeing, Flight Blogger and KIRO will be covering the landing live.
UPDATE 2:38pm: Been watching the live news conference (I stayed up north and didn’t go down to the landing) via Boeing’s website. These pilots are awesome. They said the flight went perfect and can’t wait to get in the air again!
UPDATE nextday: I have had a lot of people ask “why should I care?” I answered that question with a new blog.

Absolutely magnificent! Great video – great plane! Love to hear more about planned routes and who purchased the first 10….Thanks for posting David….thanks for building it Boeing!
Congratulations to Boeing! Great moments added to the history of flight. If not for the delays it would ‘ve been in the commercial routes a couple of years ago…Composite materials used may need lots of thorough turn-around checks and modifications in due course of time. Materials science too has reasons to celebrate!
