Boeing 787 Aircraft 0001 Moved To Paint Shop 3-10-09, originally uploaded by moonm.
Around 9:30 pm on Tuesday evening in Everett, Dreamliner One departed Building 40-24 for its return appointment to the paint shop. The aircraft will receive its second coat of paint since June 25, 2007 when ZA001 rolled for the first time.
While in the paint hangar, N787BA will also receive its aqueous wash to clean the fuel tanks and remove any debris that accumulated during assembly over the last twenty-two months.
Dreamliner One should be out of the paint hangar in about ten days.
Special thanks to Tony for the photo.
