Boeing 787 to debut on 07/08/07

Our first view of the new Boeing 787 will be this summer in Everett Washington.

Unlike the A380, the 787 is revolutionary, not evolutionary. Also, unlike the A380, the 787 is already the best selling aricraft in Boeings history, even before the first aircraft as come off the line.

This will be one big show for "propellerheads" like me in the aviation community.

I like the marketing tie in with the date, but it only works here in the states where dates are expressed as month/day/year. In Canada, where dates are expressed as day/month/year, no one will get the connection. Which makes me laugh all that much harder...

So, it looks like I'm going to Everett this summer. (like I need another good excuse to go to the Puget Sound area). So reserve my booths at Burgerville, Dicks, Ivars and the Friday Harbor Pub.

yeah. And I dont know what will be in the hangar on that day, because the debut is July 8th. As they say in hollywood, "it works on so many levels"

What, you mean we express the date like it is said, instead of some backasswards European way?

How horrifically American!
