Great photos Lukas - that holding yard, where exactly is it? I am assuming it isn't on the side of the airport near the delivery centre/Future of Flight.

Fantastic shots Lukas - glad to see 787 production is progressing well, and of course who could forget the 77W :)

Forgotten 77W

Why the simulated engine weights?
Why are the 17,000 lb weights on the parked a/c awaiting engines and is that the approx weight of a 787-8 engine?

If you happen to have pay TV, there's a Megafactories: Boeing program doing the rounds on National Geographic Channel (should be in the download on demand section on Foxtel too). It focuses on the 747-8 but the weights are explained. My sieve memory can't recollect the precise reason for the weights but I seem to recall it was to simulate the engine weight and to keep the wing flexed down while it's sans fuel and engines.
