I'm afraid to say it does look quite nice....
The wing is very thin - seems Seattle have finally realised what Airbus realised 35 years ago - an efficient wing is key to an efficient airliner!
Let's hope it doesn't fall apart soon though. Competition is important, and if this is successful, Airbus will have to raise the bar again for the A350 or else risk going out of business.

All over now I think....
To be honest, Im very disappointed with the end of the ceremony, very anti-climatic in my opinion.
Still, well done Boeing, a nice looking airplane!
Now, off to bed methinks!
Cheers,

I was expecting it to emerge in a great laser display but instead... open the doors and there it was.
A real ant-climax after all that self congratulation.

Errm it was very long winded and that news caster just lowered the tone.
as for the craft??? i dont know inside looked nice but they didnt show you steerage. were us normal folk would sit. plus if you get on a charter example there will be packed out with seats nose to tail.
at the end of the day apart from looking ugly and having a few technical tweaks its the same old boeing tube. :roll:

Personally, I think it is very beautiful and the "Way To Go". I look forward to flying in it...Hopefully with British Airways

At least they have made the nose shape more interesting... and the wings.. its not bad looking in my opinion.
