Parade of Sevens. July 7, 2007 (7/7/07). Boeing's lineup from 707 through 777 lifted off from Paine Field, landing at Boeing Field - the day before the 787 was rolled out (on 7/8/07)

707 - notice how dirty the engines are.

747 test bed for the Trent 1000 Rolls-Royce engines - see here on the inside of the left wing.

787 coming out of the paint hanger for the first time on 7/8/07.

Crossing over the bridge - what a sight for the people driving under it.

787 on 12/15/09 - rolling past Boeing workers on it's way to first flight.

Modified 747 'DreamLifter' behind the new airplane. The DreamLifter carried parts of the fuselage of the 787 - you can see how it would all fit!

Two T-33 chase planes (one on the left) followed the 787 as it took off until landing.
