Awesome!!! Can't wait to see it fully painted! :D It will be so beautiful! Thanks for this video ! Delivery should be in late-November I think, I can't wait to see it in CDG and maybe to take part to one of the Welcome Flights¡!
DullesPlaneSpotter the 40-24 was originally a surge line for the 787 to stay on schedule while Charleston got started. Now that CHS is caught up, the 40-24 is a temporary storage facility where last minute applications are made. It allows the line to keep moving forward without expanding the size of the 40-26 itself. They get interior, cockpit finalization, and test equipment installed over 44 hours then roll out again.
DullesPlaneSpotter 787s carbon fiber fuselages are already painted white when they arrive, we have 4 paint hangars here, it went into the 45-03 (middle one near the factory). The paint hangars are a little odd, they make sure only paint staff are allowed in while the plane is being worked on, and each building is completely separate from any other part of the facility.
Whoops! Didn't read description. Nice that GE engines were used. The world seems to be propping up Rolls Royce heretofore. Brexit will make GE engines less expensive than Rolls.
That's funny, I've always used a ladder there and never once have I stepped in the shrubs. And I don't personally know anyone else who's done that either. Josh, I take it, I would like to remind you that the Paine Field Business Park isn't managed by one individual, it's split, and if one of the property owners (I would assume that would be Mike as he interacts with us the most) actually spoke to you, don't you think that's a bit of a weird conversation to have? What's the relationship? Why did he feel like telling you? Something tells me you're bluffing. ;D
DoomCastGaming It was a joke :-) but wow thanks for the data!. I assume you are quoting planes that are still in service. Boeing 707s and 727s, seriously? I think if you look at planes in service, the inventory is moving further and further away from Boeing because Airbus has mega factories in France that employ thousands and thousands of people, just like Boeing does here. Marine Le Pen, who is running for President of France and is a far-right looney like Trump and his thugs and followers, has said that France will be considering exiting from the EU and start big global import tariffs is she is elected. I doubt if Airbus imports any parts from the US at this point.
Obviously this list is of aircraft in service and out of service. I am just saying that France isn't only going for Airbus or Boeing. Just stating the fact that there have been and still are lots of Boeing aircraft that are being used. Yes most of these aircraft are no longer in service but that doesn't mean they're done with Boeing for good.
DoomCastGaming I think it will be a gradual process and is underway now. I think most of Europe will go Airbus. Now Asia is another story.They have no aircraft industry to speak of and they tend to prefer Boeing because of the relationship that has existed with Boeing (Boeing being on the West coast) for many years. I think the American airlines better start getting patriotic and stop sucking on the Airbus discount tit that they present constantly for suckling.
BobEckert56 Don't get me wrong, Airbus succeeds very well when it comes to domestic aircraft like the A320 for European customers. But I know there are still 927 737s left to deliver to Europe. 400 of those are to Ryanair who are also buying at least 100 more 737-MAXs. More customers include: Norwegian, Avalon, Monarch, SMBC, Enter Air, and LOT for the MAX. As for the 777X program, Lufthansa is the 777-9 project launch customer. In order to be a project launch customer, you have to be the first to commit to the plane. They ordered 34 777-9s. Along with the middle eastern airlines like Emirates, Saudia, and Qatar who ordered an massive amount of 777X's
Charlie Murillo it has newish titles. Other than that, nothing unique. Similarly to HB-JNA, I would think they may apply a special decal post delivery.
The two Aeromexico 787s in the background! My lovelies! 😍😗💕
The 787 is really a beauty. Happy to see one under Air France colors at last :-)
500 of them in the air now? That was fast! Good capture!
The Frequent Flyer Thanks. About 480 in the air now, but the 500th should be up soon enough. :)
Planes At Paine this the the 500th, I do wing body join on them
Awesome!!! Can't wait to see it fully painted! :D It will be so beautiful! Thanks for this video !
Delivery should be in late-November I think, I can't wait to see it in CDG and maybe to take part to one of the Welcome Flights¡!
CDG Spotter Correct, its scheduled to leave Everett on November 30th. :)
France is in the air!
Vive le France!
Belle présentation....
Great catch! Still a baby :D
Santiago Palma Indeed. :)
I guess that's the aircraft that replaced the 747s maybe. Nice video as usual thank you
MG AviationNZ Most likely. :(
são Lindos pa Parabéns! Quando entram em operação?
787 is the current fashion in aircrafts
Raj Nirvan Indeed. Very modern! :D
Planes At Paine I can't wait to see the 787 10 soon
Awesome ! It looks so nice !
Hugo Aviation It does, can't wait to see it painted. :)
Heathrow Aviation will there be a flight report ? :D
Love the front
airfrance with a 787?? I can't believe my eyes
pelo tamanho da Fuselagem são os 787-9
Lol thought you meant the factory doors were open for some reason and the plane just rolled out while they were still working on it XD
When will it enter into service and on which route
wow!! Nice, its finally a reality :)
AeronauticalAce HD Indeed! :D
cool videos
Rolls Royce or GE?
What is hangar 40-24 used for? I was thinking painting, but the Air France livery is nearly complete. It's so simple, but it looks very elegant!

Boeing has a great system for the production line. It sounds like it is very efficient (and fun to watch!). Thanks for the information!
Boeing 787-8 2017 next new airplanes
Is that 787 a -8 or -9?
Nice. Why were the paramedics over there?
zuber oberoi Not sure haha. During line moves though everything shifts forward rather quickly, might've been an accident in the 40-26.
It will replace the Airbus a 340-300.
Félix Maltchinski Yep. :(
When return EVA's
tuao ii Hu 2019, and they won't be built here unfortunately. :/
Planes At Paine where will they be built?
At Boeing's 787 assembly plant in North Charleston, SC.
Correct, they, being 787-10s, will be built in Charleston, South Carolina.
Unless they are buying a pot full of them, the purchase may be symbolic.

The manager of the business park told me you guys keep trespassing and damaging their shrubs on the property.
That's funny, I've always used a ladder there and never once have I stepped in the shrubs. And I don't personally know anyone else who's done that either.

The order must have been a clerical error. The French would never buy anything that didn't have Airbus on it and Rolls Royce powering it.
Tell that to their 42 707s, 31 727s, 57 737s, 62 747s, 6 767s, 60 777s, and soon to be 25 787s. All powered by CFM, GE or PW

No special livery?! How boring ..... they should have, but sure looks nice with AF colors
