Hello
You better stay up late
That would be 00:35AM here
Anyway I'm looking forward to finally see the results of the B787. To be honest, we didn't get a lot to see of it yet, example, I've never seen pictures of the complete fuselage frame etc.... neither the complete frame, or large parts of it yet unfinished. So I really want to see it for the first time
Best regards: Yannick

There is no "frame" per se. However there have been pictures of all the barrels arriving in Everett.Bruspotter wrote:Hello

It has been 3 weeks since they started final assembly and it would be nice to see some recent pictures.
Here's some info on the 787 assembly progress. I don't know how recent the photos are.

Some reports have been circulating in the media regarding delays at Vought and misfitting parts during assembly, here is an internal memo that responds to those reports:

There are no strangers in the world, just friends we have yet to meet.

(I don't know if the first delivered airframe(s) are going to Jetairfly or to another division of the TUI Group, so maybe Jetairfly gets their 787's only in 2011)
TUI has ordered 11 787-800 : 10 for Arkefly and 1 for Jetairfly
