787 Factory Pics

[Saj_A]

FAO anyone that wants a peek, took a few pics of the 787 line while in Everett - pics are here.

The first 787 for ANA (ZA100) is now in the paint hangar being prepped for the side of body wing fix.

More thoughts on a second 787 production line here.

Until the first line is up and running, a second line was always in the pipeline, however, its just not as important when you stand back and look at the bigger picture - because without a fully operational line in Everett, the business proposition for a second line, from a supply chain perspective simply cannot be reconciled, especially when revenue from deliveries is nowhere near a point of maximisation.

I reckon anyone here with the slightest interest in the 787 should check out both the pics and Saj's Editorial on the 787 second line. A really good piece!
