This aircraft is the one that toured Australia.

SEATTLE, Nov. 3, 2014--On Nov. 8, The Museum of Flight will become the first museum in the world to add a Boeing 787 Dreamliner to its collection. The Boeing Company will donate Dreamliner "Number 3" to the Museum during an 11 a.m. ceremony with Doug King, President and CEO of The Museum of Flight, and numerous Boeing leaders and employees. The airplane will be in the Museum's East Parking Lot, and open to the public from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday, and all day Sunday, Nov. 9. The ceremony and entry to the aircraft are free with admission to the Museum.


To celebrate the Dreamliner's arrival, the museum will be free for all Boeing employees, retirees, and suppliers, plus up to six guests apiece on November 8-9. Employees and retirees must show proof of Boeing employment to take advantage of this offer.

The Museum of Flight is one of the great aviation museums, certainly comparable to the displays at RAF Duxford and the Smithsonian. Hard to match the Smithsonian's two great displays, but the MoF has a good go at it.

One of the few places where you can board a Concorde, for example.
