787 Rollout
 

6:30 PM EST, Sunday July 8th, live on DirecTV channel 567, the actual rollout of the first 787.

Is there going to be any kind of live event open to the public for the 787 rollout at the Everett plant ? I'd love to go with my 10yr old son.

Well, after a call to the future of flight museum in Everett, they claim that there are no factory tours that day, but they will show the video on big screens in the museum and you *may* get a peek at the 787 as it rolls by about a mile away. Too bad.

According to this: http://www.boeing.com/commercial/787...7premiere.html

it says DirecTV 576

I'm sure you're right, since I couldn't find it in the guide just now.

Post #88 on this thread in the NW forum has info for those interested in viewing through DishNetwork.

Do you know which channel is that here in PHX? I just want to watch on TV by Boeing new 787 rolllout from paint shop. I am looking forward nice see new bird of 787. I just want to know which channel is that in Paradise Valley, AZ? I haven't found them yet. I need your help for me. Thanks!

Will you be able to see it if you drive by? I think it's a longshot. I'm willing to go Sunday evening after the rollout (if they don't bring it back to the hanger)

They should broadcast it on channel 787...

You'd think they could get the audio worked out...

Did anyone see anything on DirecTV? My picture was blank.

I just watched the 787 webcast hours ago but, it was amazing nice entire new 787 was rollout today. It was impressive to hear from Boeing 787. I just saw over onto the webcast when I am came home from work around 2:45pm. I was such a hurried go home because I have to watched the 787 webcast. I am really appreciable all Boeing company was very hard work. Thanks for the supports from Boeing. :)

They make it sound like a sweet ride, ala the original 747. Remember the "lounge" on the upper deck? In the end it will become just as cramped as any other tube in the sky as the airlines demand that Boeing pack as many seats as possible into a limited space.

I fear that Bob W may be right. Although with the cabin pressurized to 6,000 feet instead of 8,000 feet and more humidity in the cabin even steerage may be more comfortable than in other flying tubes.

Fingers crossed.

The jab at "A very slow Airbus" was in bad taste... Slow was not exactly the pace of Airbus sales at the Paris Air Show last month, and an airliner's fate is unpredictable and at the mercy of a delay, an incident or worse... Bad behavior. Not to mention that he was on that Airbus because no competing Boeing had the range to cover the sector he was flying
