787 First Flight
The Boeing 787 is about to take its first flight. Less than two minutes until it starts it taxi, boeing has live video, audio, and atc on this website. Boeing 787 Dreamliner First Flight
Rockwell has done a good deal of work on this so I'm sure a few Cyclones have worked on it.

I'm sure there is going to be one helluva party going on over at Boeing tonight  They deserve a big party, ya know, since they were billions of dollars over budget and a couple years late.
That's quite a plane though!

Whole list of reasons why it's supposed to be better but it's probably getting so much attention since it's been hyped up and is now 2+ years behind schedule

To be fair, what isn't behind schedule with a big government contractor/largest commercial aircraft maker?
