She just landed on 13R at KBFI at 1:34pm with two T-33 chase planes
in formation.

Aviation history was made today (what a great day!). :D

I wish I could get exited by modern passenger jets. They all look the same to me. Could probably tell a 747 from an A- 380 at a push though! Concorde was very nice though. (Awaiting incoming!!!!) :twisted: :butthead:

It was cool watching live on foxnews.com. The T-33s were cool, but come on, you're BOEING! Where's the FA-18 chase-planes?

Still, the T-33s were hanging on the props as the 787 started rolling down the runway. Pretty cool!
