Move over Farnborough.

Boeing’s 787 graced Arlington’s air show first.

The Dreamliner flew over the Arlington Fly-In this afternoon.

Arlington is about 20 miles north of Everett, where Boeing’s 787 jet goes through final assembly.

Herald photographer Mark Mulligan tells me that the 787 flew over the Arlington Fly-In twice, beginning at about 3:20 p.m. Boeing chief test pilot Mike Carriker was in the announcer’s booth during the fly over.
