Boeing 787 Dreamliner coming to SCLA(VCV)/old George AFB in CA?

[SkyBaby]

My first post! Yay.

Anyone know if or when the Dreamliner will be at Southern California Logistics Airport in Victorville, CA?  I used to live right by there, but still get into the area a lot even though I moved out of town a couple years ago.  I first heard it was coming a month ago.  Has anyone seen it there yet?  

Thanks!

I heard there was gonna be like half a dozen Dreamliners with different interiors and such being tested, but where and when are what I wanna know. 

Here's a link to an article on a Victorville news website:

I've heard rumors that 787 #5 is supposed to come to Long Beach to do test flights on the offshore range. Believe it when I see it, but who knows.

Hmm.. that will be interesting.  I will certainly be watching the skies over my house for the next few weeks and see what I see.

i've never been to Washington.  The furthest north I've ever been is Sacramento, CA.  I can't see it until it makes its way into Cali.

With all the delays and all the money waste on getting foreign companys to build parts of it. they could have built all those parts themselves and most likely been done with the flight testing and we could have been photographing them in passenger service flying out of LAX by now.

I think so too.. That was sure a mistake on their part.

Here's the link to the article that explains about it's visit this week...

Also once the 3rd 747-8F gets up and flying they're planning on moving the 747-8 testing to Palmdale. They say they don't have the room to test both the 787 and 747-8 at Boeing Field. So all 3 747-8F test frames will be flying out of Boeing's Palmdale facilities for the majority of the their testing.

Thanks Mickey for posting the info and Ken for the text.

Flight BOE2 787 KBFI-KVCV, arrival 12:08pm. 


So who's going beside Ken maybe?

I can't wait to see it!  It's gonna be quite a while til I can get down there, but when I do, I'll try to get some photos.  I drive by Palmdale a lot though, so I can for sure see the 747.  Thanks everyone for posting that info!
