Ian Kluft ✅✈️🎈🌋Boeing managed to get another 787 delivery for 2025, making the total 88. Singapore Airlines is flying their new 787-10 from Charleston #CHS / #KCHS to Centrair, Japan #NGO / #RJGG, maybe to refuel or for equipment installation. Coincidentally, 787 wings and a fuselage section are made there. In previous guidance Boeing said it was aiming for 70-80 787 deliveries in 2025. The extra include some delayed for rework which are now done. https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/9VSDB/history/20251231/1410Z/KCHS/RJGG #aviation #travel #business #avgeek
In one more sign of Boeing's recovery, the 87th 787 Dreamliner delivery flight of 2025 is in progress. LATAM 9954 (787-9) is enroute from Charleston #CHS / #KCHS to Santiago #SCL / #SCEL. This may be the last 787 delivery of 2025, unless Boeing can deliver any on New Years Eve day. Though time is rapidly running out to count for 2025, it isn't impossible. 3 more 787s are ready to go, each having done a customer acceptance test flight. https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/LAN9954/history/20251230/1710Z/KCHS/SCEL #aviation #travel #business #avgeek
Sometimes it's hard to interpret what's going on with test pilots flying. Alaska's first 787 in the new livery #N784HA is returning to Charleston #KCHS 787 factory on a test flight. (It hadn't flown in 2 weeks so may be painted now.) It made a turn back to CHS from the middle of a circuit. Did they find a problem and abort? Maybe more likely it passed all planned tests and they decided to head back. If it's delivered soon then everything was fine. #Alaska787 #aviation #business #travel #avgeek
Bicycle ride to Portland Airport #KPDX today: Boeing-owned 787-9 flying from Everett #KPAE for the paint hangar. A mystery is why a 787 came from Everett, since they're all built in Charleston #KCHS for years now. My hunch is a Chinese order (CN reg on ADS-B) was declined due to US trade conflict, stored at PAE. Maybe it has a new buyer or China changed an order. Test pilots doing their stuff, it landed with RAT deployed. First time I've seen that. #aviation #business #travel #avgeek #PNW
"SC-built Boeing 787 that struck a Breeze jet at Charleston airport last weekend was brand new" by Charleston Post & Courier - FAA (not NTSB) investigating taxiway collision of ANA 787-10 with parked Breeze Airways A220-300 at #KCHS. The collision occurred at night. Lack of NTSB lead in investigation tells us the damage and injuries fell below their threshold of a significant incident, meaning no hospitalizations & planes will return to service. https://www.postandcourier.com/business/aerospace/boeing-sc-charleston-ana-breeze-airways-tokyo/article_06d88f04-b6b0-4351-97cf-d969f0f20d6a.html #aviation #travel #avgeek
Ouch. A brand-new ANA 787-10 on delivery from the Boeing 787 factory in Charleston, South Carolina #KCHS on July 18 was taxiing out and clipped its wingtip against the tail of a parked Breeze Airways A220-300. The A220 had diverted to Charleston and was waiting for fuel with passengers aboard. 2 injuries aboard the A220. Both aircraft were taken out of service for repairs. https://asn.flightsafety.org/wikibase/528264 #aviation #travel #avgeek #oops
I made an edit a couple posts back in this thread, about hints a plane coming to Portland might be a brand-new green plane. Really, the first hint is "Boeing-owned". You can start checking the other factors after that gets your attention. It flies with a Boeing callsign for testing and painting until the purchase is completed later at a Boeing delivery center in Seattle #KBFI, Everett #KPAE or Charleston #KCHS. #aviation #avgeek #business #travel
I saw a Boeing-registered 787-9 arriving at Portland #KPDX from San Antonio #KSKF, where it may have been outfitted and/or painted. The livery looked like Air Tahiti Nui. This is probably a test flight of a brand new airplane built in Charleston #KCHS. I'd guess the next stop will be Seattle Boeing Field #KBFI or Everett Paine Field #KPAE where Boeing has customer delivery facilities. #aviation #travel #avgeek #PNW
