Hello

You better stay up late

That would be 00:35AM here

Anyway I'm looking forward to finally see the results of the B787. To be honest, we didn't get a lot to see of it yet, example, I've never seen pictures of the complete fuselage frame etc.... neither the complete frame, or large parts of it yet unfinished. So I really want to see it for the first time

Best regards: Yannick

There is no "frame" per se. However there have been pictures of all the barrels arriving in Everett.
It has been 3 weeks since they started final assembly and it would be nice to see some recent pictures.

Here's some info on the 787 assembly progress. I don't know how recent the photos are.

Some reports have been circulating in the media regarding delays at Vought and misfitting parts during assembly, here is an internal memo that responds to those reports:

It's a 787-800 or a 787-900 that will rollout on that day?

Definitely 787-8, as this frame will be used for certification progress, IIRC it will be the first to fly end of august with RR-engines.
787-9 EIS is going to be 2010.

The 787 that TUI has ordered for Jetairfly will be a 787-800 or a 787-900 (delivery date: 2010 or 2011) ?

(Info for my website)

Gliderpilot · Post by **Gliderpilot** » 15 Jun 2007, 19:09

The TUI Group has ordered 11 787-8's and deliveries will begin in 2010.

(I don't know if the first delivered airframe(s) are going to Jetairfly or to another division of the TUI Group, so maybe Jetairfly gets their 787's only in 2011)
