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.

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
