Congratulations to the whole Boeing team that made this first flight possible!!!!
I enjoyed watching the takeoff on the webcast and look forward to more pictures of today's flight.
Randy, were you able to be back in Washington to see the first flight, I sure hope you were.
Thank-you for giving everyone in the world the opportunity to see this important event.
Thank-you Randy for doing a good job in keeping us informed.
Now we can look forward next year to the 747-8 first flight.

Thanks Randy for the many posts you've done lately. I personally think that it is much better when one gets the story strait from the company itself. For once, all the pictures that you put up on your blog look so much better than any other one could find on the web for the same event. For example, these two pictures of the Dreamliners up in the air are just marvelous. If I could get a higher resolution I would make it my desktop background on my PC. Keep up the good work. I certainly appreciate the time you take out of your day to write something for us to enjoy.

Top marks Boeing..787 is magnificent, beautiful and graceful in its first flight

Did ZA001 make the whole flight with the landing gear down or was it raised for some part?
It was a beautiful sight to see the 787 lift off the runway and into its natural habitat!

It's amazing to see this bird in the air. Sure there were delays, but all it did was make us feel closer to the plane itself.
