Can't wait till i am the pilot in command of that aircraft. She looks soo nice even without the paint!!! She will look EVEN BETTER with the dreamliner paint scheme. In my opinion, Boeing is way ahead of Airbus on this - they are the premier a/c manufacturer. Boeing HAS earned it with this amazing creation!! Can't wait until the July 8 roll out ceremony. Anyone recon it will be on TV in the UK?? God, i still can't get over how beautiful she looks! Its gorgeous!!! Regards 787 lovers, Chris - Theyll keep on building those 787s for a long time!

I have a feeling I'm going to like the aesthetics of the 787-9 variant more.

He said the airplane looked good even without the paint. None of those ugly lines where the skin panels meet up.

Thats a pitty. Im going to check BBC news at 11:30 on 8/7/7 (Europe - its confusing to people not me). Yes those enngines do look huge. QUOTE I'm surprised that it has almost no winglets..... I now, they are swept back wing tip extensions - these will not feature on the 787-3. They are similar to the 764 and 772/3 ones except more curved. Regards, Chris

As Aspiring Boeing + Airbus Pilot stated the 787 will have "raked" wingtips. The 787-3 won't have the raked wingtips as it has a shorter range than the other variants. Morris
