First flight of the Boeing 787

I don't usually comment on such things, but congratulations are due to Boeing on getting their new wizz-bang new 7-late-7 [sorry... couldn't resist :-)] airborne earlier today. Being on the other side of the world, I don't have photos of my own, but here are links to some reputable aviation sources:

I'm sure if you Google for Boeing 787 first flight you'll pick up a bunch of hits also.

I'm also sure that Boeing's airline customers will be relieved that this step has finally been undertaken, although there's a long way to go yet...
