With the official rollout of Boeing's 787 less than two weeks away, the company is getting the first plane ready to show the world.
James is out of the office, but he's asked me to share this: Charles Conklin captured the first Dreamliner's night-time journey from the assembly line to the paint hangar in Everett late Monday. You can see his photos here.
