looks like the first 788 is about 2 months out, with the other 4 slotted in about a month apart (according to https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...go/edit#gid=19)

I saw pictures of "Jerusalem of Gold" taken by Tel Aviv Spotters, the aircraft gleaming and beaming in the sunshine with her gold ribbon showing all around.
She is an absolute splendour.
Well done EL AL
I hope she will receive all the honours deserved and the passengers will have a very happy first inaugural flight on board this awesomely beautiful new airplane.

Originally it was planned to replace the 777 entirely from early December but now its only operating on Tuesdays. Really disappointed because I am not a fan of the downright terrible business class on the 777, considering how expensive it is
