Boeing's Latest 787 Dream Tour to Stop in England, Italy and the USA
The party and world tour for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner rolls on as the engineers, salesmen, and other Boeing execs continue to show off the latest commercial airplane to hit the skies. It seems like just the other day we were talking about the first destinations on the 787 Dream Tour, but it’s already time for the plane to make even more stops across the globe, on what will be its sixth leg.
Right now the plane and the people seem to just be hanging around for a bit—they probably need to stock up on the 787 swag—but the plan is to hit the runway again on April 21. The 787 will be doing its thing in the United Kingdom as it’ll be at Heathrow on April 22, Manchester on April 23, Gatwick on April 25, and then back over to London-Heathrow on April 27. As of now there are no plans for any public meet and greets, but if you’re in the area it might not hurt to plane-spot its landings and departures.
After checking out what’s going on over in England, the plane will be off to Oslo, and we have to think that the visit up there has something to with all those planes that Norwegian Air Shuttle has on order.
May 4 will bring the plane over to Taranto, Italy, and after that the tour heads back to the United States.
On May 7 the plan is for the tour to stop over in Washington, DC where it’ll hang out for a couple of days, and after that it’s off to Dallas—on May 11—and over to St. Louis on May 14.
Following the latest legs of the Dream Tour, the airplane designated as the meet-and-greet bird will have logged close to 100,000 miles and probably burned plenty of jet fuel. Unfortunately—like we said earlier—no public appearances are scheduled on the latest stops. However, if you have a layover in London—or St. Louis—even checking out the plane from the comfort of the concourse is something we’d consider pretty darn neat.
