I'm 99% sure that's what appears in their marketing info...

EDIT: You were correct!

I know
I try not to argue :)

LY has done everything right for the 787.

Can't wait to fly on this beauty :)

I would have to agree. Perhaps slightly dropping Prem. Econ prices would be nice (though not direct, certain carriers have offered/offer sub-$1000 fares).

Are you booked on the inaugural? I am tentatively on a refundable fare, upgraded to J with points (only 1 R left now!)

no, I am not in the inaugural.
I am waiting that LY sends their 787s to CDG ;)
But I was on the inaugural of AF 789 :)

From El Al Facebook page
First El AL 787-9 "Ashdod" 4X-EDA in full livery
(I was hoping the nacelles were in blue like in the renderings but I had a feeling they would be white )
Very few airlines have the nacelles painted in a color other than white , I think I read somewhere that Boeing recommends only neutrals colors as any ridges in the paint will effect air flow and efficiency .

wow!! Looks so GOOD!!!!!!

A shame the "Poudly all Boeing" titles are so small though

Finally, the nacelles are not blue

*sigh* Looks like work might preclude me from taking part in the inaugural flight -- had a feeling this would happen, at least I booked fully refundable!

happened to be at the boeing factory today and saw them setting up for the delivery ceremony later this evening.

This beautiful bird is finally on its maiden flight to TLV, although a bad start timing wise as its due to land 30 minutes late.

Anybody know which ceremony is planned at TLV tomorrow? Will it be live streamed?
