As far as an A330 replacement for Qantas goes, my money is on a combination of 797s (if Boeing goes ahead with it of course) and 787s (maybe the -9 with less premium seating to increase the total seat count).

Remember that QF have about 39 options still for the 787 family!!!

ZNG is in Pre Flight Prep in Location EMC????
ZNH is in Pre Flight Prep in Location Flight Line

ZNH performed a taxi test today.

ZNH first flight (flight plan filed) as BOE276

Even though my source is showing ZNH, this may actually be ZNG

ZNH has completed its first flights, PAE/MWH 09.58am/12.07pm PST - MWH/PAE 12.08/1.04pm looks like a "touch and go".

Does anyone know the area at Boeing called "EMC" this is where ZNG is at the moment. Its first flight is not till 10 November.
ZNH has completed a second flight this time to the paint shop at Portland.

Everett Modification Center. We were told it is a hangar for pre-delivery work for the 787's.

Thanks Scott. ZNG back on the Flightline, first flight now due today, 6/11 USA time

ZNG first flight plan has been filed

Looks like ZNG first flight scheduled for today has been cancelled.
