Sydneysiders will get their first glimpse of Boeing's long-delayed 787 Dreamliner aircraft next week as part of a tour Down Under, which will coincide with Qantas's 91st anniversary.
Qantas is not expected to take delivery of its first next-generation 787 until early 2013 but Boeing is flying one of its first test aircraft to Sydney on November 15 for a two-day visit. It will be in Melbourne on November 17.

Is it just me or is that ANA interior cough?

First Boeing 787 Dreamliner handed over to ANA

EDIT

Ok that seems to be a 763 interior masquerading as a 787...

Yup was the interior for the test bird. no flashy seats, lighting etc...

ANA also had a problem with their 787 landing gear today, had to do a go around and manually lower them - must be hard work.

Read some comments from jb747 in the Ask the pilot thread.

Anyone know what time it's arriving? I wouldn't normally care but since I will be flying from Sydney 1pm on the 15th I wouldn't mind a glimpse.

Awesome. I think I just came.

Missed it flying out of SYD on the 16th (it was already in the hangar I think), but got a nice good look as we taxi'd past it in MEL last night.

Saw it parked on the apron last night in the open. Quite surprising as I thought it would be resting in a hanger overnight.
