And here is a Youtube Link from the takeoff - for those who missed it.

its even smaller than the real lifestream - but its the first video i found on youtube for the maiden flight. br, alex

I saw the takeoff stream from Boeing - it was amazing. I really start to love that airplane.... :love;

They're landing early, 1:22 PST in about 20 minutes at KBFI.CNN has a feed up on their site, not sure if the official page is also going to show the landing, I'd assume so.

I assume after PMDG complete the NGX, it will be the Dreamliner next.

Yes, Ryan, what's the ETA on the release of the PMDG Dreamliner? :(

For those that missed it or what to see it again, CNN also has a full screen the departure here (different angles also)http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2009/1...ner.flight.kiroLive feed is http://edition.cnn.com/video/flashLive/liv...?stream=stream1

Thanks for the CNN link Dan - first decent view I got of the 787 maiden flight today. Supposedly LOT are going to be one of the first European customers to take delivery, so hopefully it won't be too long before I'm flying on one :(

Missed the lot :(Anyone know where I might be able to see it?

Hey seems like we now have a a flying 787, maybe PMDG will start thinking about getting us one of them! :( Leo Soares

Look 2 posts above you.

Wow!!! Fantastic stuff!! Congrats to Boeing and all involved for the many hrs of hard work to get this future of aviation in the air!! Cheers!!

Incredible landing, what a cool new bird.

The landing really was great, absolute greaser.

That was a sweet landing, looked like a swan landing in the lake, all elegant like, haha. I wonder if it was a manual or auto landing? I heard the pilots credentials and I know he's quite the pilot, but some aspects of that landing seemed too smooth and looked more like Autoland. Would they test something like that this soon do you think? Personally, I know if I was the test pilot, I would want to be the first one to lay her down ;)

Absolutely no way was that an autoland. Just a really good pilot doing it by hand. Autoland is actually designed to put it down really firmly because you want positive contact with the surface for traction in wet conditions. Autolands are extremely rare in the real world, pilots do not like doing them and it requires specific runway equipment that not all airports have and so on. They definitely would not have autolanded a plane on its first test flight either, that will come way later in the process.The chief pilot said in the press conference though that they did come down the ILS because of the visibility - they actually had to call and ask the Boeing ground engineers if it was ok for them to go IFR when the weather started getting bad.
