This should be good for all of aviation. I hope it is a great success.

Boeings have never been my fav a/c, but this one looks interesting. Hope the maiden flight goes as expected!

very cool and exciting to see it's first flight.
there's alotta flex in those wings!
sad that boeing's website didn't work. that has to be embarrasing.
i bet someone's getting a reaming over that one. no christmas bonus for that guy! :redf:

Just watched it on CNN. Great takeoff! Its really cool to see those T-33's doing the chase flights, but she's up in the air!

T-33 chase planes, cool! :) I want to see how much more those wings flex when the plane has a load of people and luggage.

Of course it would/will. Most of the airliners out there already have very well modeled wing flex. The PMDG MD-11's wing flex is the most realistic I've seen yet. Their 747's wing flex is also impressive.
