Funny, just drove by Paine Field today and saw it. Pretty sure it's the same one that's been sitting up there since January.

747 is the whale, 777 is Bigfoot, 787 - Maneater?

PS. FUPM

I'm hopeing the cockpit crew is trained enough to shut engines down before evacuation. Beautiful plane.

Wow it's gonna show up! Thanks to Boeing and Unical management for making this dream come true! It was so worth a multi year delay and a horrendous BK contract that a DK CEO saw as the new normal. Man I bet all you fellas at DAL and LUV are SO jealous of the Unical heroes that finally get to mount this chariot.

I remember asking that when I was hired at Cal. I've found that within 1 minute of being in the cockpit with 99% of scabs you will know it without ever referencing the list.
