For anyone interested in aviation Boeing will be broadcasting for the first time the rollout and Premier of a new model airplane.  The 787 rollout will be broadcast at 15:30 PDT on DTV channel 576 and Dish Channel 9601.  While these channels are PNV channels they will be available to anyone wanting to see this event.  This event will also be available on the web HERE then go to the webcast.

 
Ron,

I just pre programmed it into our DirecTV channel 576 and for the record DirecTV shows that it starts at 3:00 pm PDT to 4:30 pm.  I suppose that there may be some pre roll out festivities from 3:00 to 3:30 pm before the actual roll out at 3:30 pm..

Thanks Ron. When I saw your message earlier, I set the rollout and the earlier "Boeing test" to record.

Hmmm I must have missed the Boeing test info would you provide the details.

 
This is the first time Boeing has invited the world to see an airplane roll out.  I have attended a couple in the past and I am sure this will be very interesting.  Yep I have my Tivo set up to record the event.

No details provided in the guide Ron. On closer inspection, it looks like it's not public.
 
The test was in my guide, I set the Tivo to record it too.
 
Starts 2 hours (I think) before the rollout programming.
 
BTW Ron  Do you know a Bill Weiss That used to fly test planes for Boeing?

Name sounds kind of familiar,  I think he may have been one of the pilots on one of the 767 test flight I was on. 
 
He even flew AF1 a bit during the Kennedy and Johnson Terms.  He's an old school chum of mine.  Been friends for 60 years.  His cousin is Ralph Korte, another friend from my base town,  of Korte Construction that's building the big new Casino in Vegas.  Sorry for the theft of the thread.  I'll ask  Bill.

Is this today 7/7 or tomorrow 7/8? I show Boeing Test on the schedule now until 15:00 tomorrow 7/8 when the schedule states "Boeing's 787 Dreamliner World Premiere"
