hurricanemk1c 195 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Hi all! Japan AirLines (JAL)'s first 787 has flown. Details are - JA822 J787-846, C/N 34832 and L/N 23. Here is a photo, with the orginal link : Linky http://www.airliners.net/photo/Japan-Airlines--/Boeing-787-846-Dreamliner/1875764/L/&sid=fbdf71e9b7c017abf6300a5665686834 But my question (again) is - what's wrong with the reg? It seems a bit wrong, with a blue W showing through. Are JAL asking help from the Wombles :biggrin: ? Your tubeliner person, Kieran Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Odd shot - not much flaps for a landing (very light?) and not enough pitch to be a take-off photo. John Link to post Share on other sites

ddavid 149 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 This photo shows a lot more flap: ... and the photographer, Jimmy Polivka, remarks ZA117 returns from it's maiden flight on a dreary day in the Pacific Northwest. Notice that the temporary Boeing registration has blown off revealing the future JAL number... By the way, what do you think of this?!? Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites

allardjd 1,853 Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 "Too $#%! heavy to land anywhere that's worth a damn!" Who wants to go to JFK, indeed! Sometimes even he's right. John Link to post Share on other sites

hurricanemk1c 195 Posted May 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Welcome PilotGuy! I'd be cautious about those dates - the 787 has slipped so many times (although I'm sure it'll do it this time) Link to post Share on other sites
