Looks like the first flight of the Dreamliner will be late September, or possibly as late as the first week of October, but they are shooting for end of September now.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The first plane was unveiled to the world in a July 8 ceremony that McNerney attended along with 15,000 others at Boeing's Everett plant. But much work remains to get systems installed and working with one another on the plane before first flight.

"We have a lot of work to do in a compressed time frame," McNerney said.

First flight is now targeted for the end of September. Previously, Boeing said it hoped first flight would come in late August or early September.

The 787's first flight is postponed a month, but delivery still is on schedule

Can't wait!!!
