Is the white tail one of the 78J test planes?

By the looks of it, I would say yes

inside Paint hangar in CHS

There was extra room in both paint hangars (I know) and a little room in final assembly (I think).

I wasn't aware the Uzbekistan Government was getting a 787?

Going by the 787 production list, I presume its LN764 UK-78704? I thought it was for Uzbekistan Airways

All I'll say is that data differs from my own. Feel free to disregard.

Could it be a case like Air China or Korean Air where they dedicate a specific frame from the fleet to VIP service as needed?

Anyone know the status of Boeing CHS? Are they operational at all? Wonder when the 78s ferried out will head back... or might some stay at PAE for the predelivery work? Seeing the UA 78J in the fuel dock area made me go :scratchchin:

Most of the planes were already back so I was actually a little late with the news. I believe the only Airplane that hadn't come back yet was United's X.

I'd say there actually is a rush to get the planes back as quickly as possible. Boeing is already behind in deliveries and the recent shutdown of the Charleston facility is not going to help things.

CassidysVacay · Fri Sep 21, 2018 12:22 am

United's soon to be 787-10 arrived back in Charleston this evening. I wish the Sun was cooperating with me.

Absolutely gorgeous! It would be sad if EK-EY merger happens, and this livery is gone.

Looking at the latest 787 production firing line, I see no sign of the last VS 789 G-VERY.
Have they quietly cancelled it, just delayed delivery or was it always due to arrive about 2 years after the previous last frame ?

Only the -10’s will be returning to CHS. Shanghai (which delivered from PAE) and Hainans will deliver from PAE. EVA -9 is due to ferry to PAE on Friday from what I was told for delivery from PAE.

Sorry if I have missed this, does it have to do with HNA Group meeting payments or there are some reasons why 5 787 are on ground at PAE at the same time.
