Good to see that the flight will take place in their morning so that we in Europe will be able to see the first take off without staying awake all night. Hopefully the livestream will work. During roll-out over two years ago they had some difficulties if I remember correctly.

It's D-day today, as in Dreamliner-Day. Stop dreaming get real and fly!

What a beautiful aircraft. Is it normal that the landing gear not is retracted during testflight? It went into the clouds with the gear deployed.
