First To Fly . net |
At long last we have finally been able to sample the delights of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Almost exactly 4 years to the day since the first commercial flight of the Airbus A380 it was Boeing's & ANA's turn to host the party. ANA flew the Boeing 787 from Tokyo Narita to Hong Kong and back again the next day as a charter flight, auctioning seats via eBay with the proceeds going to charity. Aboard were Gino Bertuccio & Chris Sloan, a contingient of 90 media people and about 105 lucky auction winners. Gino's photos will be here shortly. Chris Sloan's photos are here (requires some patience while loading!) and a CNN interview featuring Chris is here. And lastly, here's a link to a CNN report aboard AN 7871 |
