787 set to fly on Dec. 15th

The moment is almost upon us!  Last Saturday, Boeing completed taxi testing on flight test aircraft ZA001.  Along with the completion of structural analysis, functional testing, a flight readiness review, and receipt of an experimental ticket from the FAA, the 787 Dreamliner is now on track for first flight tomorrow, December 15th, at approximately 10AM PST.  This is, of course, valid pending any adverse weather conditions, and the Weather Channel is indeed reporting 80-90% chance of rain tomorrow in the Seattle area.  So let's hope the sun is shining on Tuesday!
