Qantas 787

[Dennis McLean]

I have checked the 787 spreadsheets and there are no S/N's shown since L/N 885 which was delivered on 12 August.

It will be interesting to see if the 787-9 non stop research flight from London to Sydney will be able to better the 20 hours 9 minutes and 5 seconds set by 744 OJA in 1989.

All from Everett, so avoiding the Charleston issues

May have been a bit premature with this call, as there has been no movement on the spreadsheet since VH-ZNI moved to position 4 "Undergoing Final Assembly" and VH-ZNJ moved to Position 0 with "Parts Arriving, both on 11th September. Maybe someone with wider sources can comment.

It appears the websites with their spreadsheets have not been updated for a while. So individual aircraft probably are well advanced on what is currently shown. The Google spreadsheet for Boeing Test flights 747, 767, 777, 787 has not been updated since 20 August.

ZNI has finally appeared on the Boeing flightline
