787 Dreamliner testing resumes

Last Sunday, June 27th, Boeing resumed flight testing on its 787 Dreamliners after a manufacturing flaw had been discovered on the horizontal tails of two aircraft.  This had led to the suspension of all Dreamliner flight testing while Boeing engineers inspected the problem on all finished and in-production aircraft.  Once the safety inspections were completed and passed, flight testing resumed with ZA003 returning to Seattle from Arizona (where it had remained grounded since June 22nd) while ZA002 completed a roundtrip from Boeing Field to Moses Lake in central Washington.  The horizontal tails are manufactured by 787 partner Alenia, which is based in Italy.
