Photo of Note: A final night in Everett

Photo of Note: A final night in Everett: 787 First Delivery Header




Looking Back

EVERETT -- Airplane Eight, as it was once known, now JA801A, is spending its final night here in Washington before departing at 6:35 AM PT from Paine Field on early Tuesday morning. The photo, which was actually taken last night (when it wasn't raining), captures a lot of Boeing history in the viewfinder. The 747, the aircraft that spawned the Everett factory's three original bays in the late 1960s is seen in its -8 freighter variant readying for a departure from the final assembly line.
