UPDATE 12:05pm: I am currently at the Future of Flight and just took some cloudy pictures of the Boeing 787. Hopefully tomorrow will be a bit better.CHECK THEM OUT.

I know my blog has turned into a Boeing 787 blog recently, but that is because tomorrow could be one of the most exciting days in aviation history and I am excited to be a part of it. I say “could” because the weather could have other plans, but so far, it looks like it might cooperate.  It was beyond exciting seeing the front wheel of the Boeing 787 lift off on Saturday (as you can tell by my comments and people clapping around me) and I feel privileged to be there tomorrow to witness and record the event. As I did with the taxi tests, I hope to get my content up as soon as possible and then add links to photos and videos of others that were there as well.

I won’t be providing a live feed of the first flight, although I will be taking video. I am currently researching who will be providing live feeds and I will provide you links early tomorrow morning.

Thanks for reading and if I get some time today, I will get something non-787 posted. Until then, make sure to follow #787 (follows tweets about the 787), #787FF (follows tweets about the 787 first flight), Flightblogger, FutureofFlight, PIBoeing and of course AirlineReporter on Twitter.
