ANA crew gets behind controls of Boeing 787 Dreamliner

Airline crews just flew the Boeing 787 Dreamliner for the first time, according a post in Randy Tinseth’s Journal. Tinseth is VP of marketing for Boeing Commercial Airplanes.

The All Nippon Airways crew took ZA001, the first 787 ever to fly, up over Washington State for two and half hours. Four 787s are presently flying with ZA005 and ZA006 in production. The quartet has wracked up 267 flights and 830 hours and 45 minutes, according to flight 787flighttest.com.

ANA is expected to take the first commerical deliveries of the 787 in the fourth quarter. I grabbed a few of the photos of the event off Randy’s post. Enjoy!
