    787 Before 2010?


    All I want for Christmas is…a 787.

    Well, I’d settle for my two front teeth. But at Boeing, they’re still hoping the 787 Dreamliner is going to actually fly before 2010. They’ve gone back to the drawing board a couple of times, (back in June was the 5th delay, so I’ve lost count.) Delays like when they reinforced the wing and fuselage so it didn’t fall off. And all the testing with the composite material which is hopefully a good idea. It remains to be seen. Literally.
