Yes, exceptionally quiet and fast off the runway--the landing gear were already stowed away by the time it was over Gravelly Point. (If any of you stuck around for another five minutes, you would have witnessed the contrasting example of an AA DC-9 that needed nearly the entire runway to thunder its way into the air.)

One thing I didn't expect: From the ground, the 787 doesn't look that big. I think it's because the relative size of the engines to the fuselage isn't that far off from a 737--even if the 737's fuselage can't be much wider than a 787 engine.
