Sapendo da fonti interne ad Everett che il 787 dovra volare a fine giugno e la settimana scorsa avevo sentito i motori andare via I-phone anche se vietato mi sono prenotato il Coho Ferry per andare giu e vedere il primo volo dalla terrazza del Museo del Volo
Oggi la bella sorpresa. Qui tutti la passano male, anche museo che ha deciso di reagire cosi:

MUKILTEO -- Have you staked out your spot to watch the Boeing Co. fly its 787 Dreamliner for the first time?
Aviation buffs who plan to catch the 787's first flight from the deck of the Future of Flight Aviation Center and Boeing Tour might want to plan ahead. The deck won't be open to the public as part of regular admission to the center, positioned across Paine Field where the Dreamliner will take off.
Boeing plans to fly the 787 by the end of June. However, the company hasn't given a specific date for the flight. The results of ground tests that are under way on the aircraft will affect the scheduling of the first flight. Weather will also play a role in setting a date.
Despite limited notice for the Dreamliner's maiden flight, the event likely could draw thousands of onlookers to the Paine Field area as both Boeing workers and aviation geeks hope to glimpse the Dreamliner take flight.
The Future of Flight will limit access to its observation deck to people who have donated to the aviation center's foundation. To reserve a spot on the deck, would-be 787 spotters will need to have donated $250 or more to the Future of Flight Foundation before the first flight takes place. A donation of $250 or more gets a person a spot on the deck and a VIP parking pass for the event.
Corporate donors can bring multiple attendees by contributing to the Future of Flight foundation's "Partners in Innovation" program. A business that donates $2,500 before the first flight can reserve admission for 10 employees. A $5,000 donation gets 20 slots; $10,000 buys you 40 reserved spots and parking passes.
Boeing is nearly two years behind schedule in putting its 787 Dreamliner in the air. In July 2007, the company rolled out its mostly composite Dreamliner in Everett. Journalists from around the world flew in for the Hollywood-style event, which was hosted by former NBC "Nightly News" anchor Tom Brokaw.
The 787's first flight plans are being closely watched by media and investors alike. The Dreamliner has won more than 800 orders. Boeing expects to deliver the first 787 early next year.
To reserve a spot on the Future of Flight's deck, contact the aviation center at 425-438-8100, ext. 226.
