Even tho the 787 didn't come to Oshkosh in 2010 like I had hoped (and begged for), the appearance of the Dreamliner this year on Friday July 29th was even more than I could have hoped for.
After making a nice pass down the runway, the 787 landed on runway 36 a little after 9am. It was then tugged into place on the main ramp pointing to the west. A large crowd had quickly been drawn to the airplane... in fact there were so many people crowding in that getting the airstair truck into position proved to be a bit of a challenge. It wasn't long tho before everything was in place and the crew came down the stairs to greet the interested crowd, including EAA Rod Hightower and founder Paul Poberezny.
