Perhaps it was getting ready for a life of late takeoffs and canceled arrivals. After two years of false starts, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner finally took flight yesterday reports the Seattle Times. The paper says when the two and a half hour flight landed, a group of Boeing executives, “some whose careers were tripped up by the plane’s repeated delays,” were there to greet it. The test run kicks off a series of safety trials that will begin in earnest at the end of this month.
