Boeing has always been one of the innovators in commercial aviation, including the 307 Stratoliner, the 377 Stratocruiser, the 747 HaulsAHeckofaLotofPeopleLiner, the 777-200LR Worldliner, and now the 787 Dreamliner.

Speaking of the Worldliner, man, that new Boeing launch color sure is ugly in person (as seen on the 777-200LR launch). I vastly prefer the style used during the 777-300ER launch.
