That was awesome take off and perfect landing. Wonderful wings shape too
and how the flex. Watched it in real time today. Congrats Boeing!!!

One more proof that old good capitalism driven by big visions and hard
team work is functioning well.

I'm not sure I trust it. Metal stretches and bends, but plastic snaps.

it is not plastic - it is composite. which contrary to popular belief is
very old technology used to make excellent bows centuries ago:

I am about 3 miles from the plant and was lucky enough to see it in action
for a few seconds today.
It's a glorious sight.

"Well" is relative. It is about two years late largely due to
decisions meant to save a buck and earn someone a promotion but
actually end up creating havoc and costing a small fortune.

In any event, it is good to see a business that adds rather than
subtracts from our economic well being producing something
extraordinary.

Obviously, they need to hire you to fix those problems.

How did you think it finally got in the air?

Kids always subtract from economic well being of their parents with
the exception of Makaly Kalkin, but you don't spend more on them than
you make unless you want trouble. America should take note of your
keen insight.
