I’ve been in seclusion (sans e-mail/Web access) most of the day trying to get some writing done.
But as soon as I got online, I noticed some chatter about whether Boeing flew the 787 for the first time today.
No, it didn’t.
The confusion seems to be linked to a flight number on FlightAware (BOE787). Easy to see how that would be misleading. For the record, it was a Boeing 777.
By coincidence, I happened to drive by Paine Field at the scheduled departure time … and again an hour and a half later. Would have been a quick flight to get that thing in the air and back to its spot on the flight line.
