Instead, the 787 will roll along the Everett factory floors in a shade of gray, said Mary Hanson, with 787 communications. Also,all 787 Dreamliners will have white wings. http://www.heraldnet.com/stories/06/12/25/100bus_d1green787001.cfm _________________ My Flickr photos My JP.net account Back to top HAWK21M Member Joined: 19 Dec 2006 Posts: 8132 Location: Mumbai, INDIA Posted: Wed Dec 27, 2006 11:50 pm    Post subject: Cost of Composites. regds MEL _________________ Think of the Brighter side !!!
