A United Boeing 787 Dreamliner Takes Flight

United Airlines' first 787 Dreamliner has completed its first production flight as Boeing makes final preps for delivering it to United at the end of next month. The aircraft took off from Boeing's Paine Field in Everett, WA on Sunday. Boeing pilots flew the 787 around the Seattle area for more than three hours as part of planned tests of the aircraft's controls and systems. During the flight, crew members examined the 787's onboard systems at high and medium altitudes. They also checked backup and safety elements, including cabin pressurization, avionics, navigation and communications systems.
