This plane started final assembly 3 years 1 month and about 10 days before its first flight.(around June 16th 2009) This plane finished final assembly 2 years 9 months and about 5 days before its first flight (around Oct 22, 2009) That's quite a wait to take to the air. It's now racking up cycles, flying multiple domestic flights every day all over Japan.

Nice to finally see Line 7 (ZA100) fly it's first flight...it's been a looooooooong time since it's assembly started (3 1/2 years ago).
and that was a surprisingly low ceiling for a first flight on such a reworked frame. were those clouds really over 1000 feet?
jesus, about time the 803 took off
Everett, Washington.
Why isn't it delivered before the other ANA 787??
Love that sound! Where is Paine field?
