Scott Hamilton: Boeing 787 Delivery Will Be 'Milestone' For Aviation

KIRO 7 Aviation Analyst Scott Hamilton has a new post up at AirInsight, in which he talks about the significance of the first Boeing 787 Dreamliner delivery, scheduled for September 26:

"Despite the program’s difficulties over the past 3 1/2 years, make no mistake: delivery will be a milestone in commercial aviation.

"With the 787 being the first composite airliner and the first to rely on electronic rather than air for many of its systems, operations will, in a macro sense merely be a continuation of the flight test program. Only time will tell if Boeing’s pushing the envelope on technology to such a degree will pay off over the long run."
