I like it when people get excited about plastic models

[APG]

As I type the Qatar 787 is making its first flight and will be flown by Boeing at the show

[Mixed grill]

Raidoi adverts are naming the Vulcan as in the flying display, maybe not the best idea until its actually back on the circuit. I hope to see it at Waddo in some shape or form but would not think naming it in a show advert is the right thing to do until its actually back in the air.

[APG]

And here's one of the A380's that will be at the show

[Russ]

Does anyone know if the 787 is in the flying display at the weekend as well?

[PeterR]

Isn't the 787 going home on Thursday?

[Macc]

News Release Issued: June 29, 2012 5:11 AM EDT

Boeing Plans 787 Dreamliner Flights and Highlights Advanced Intelligence,
Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Technologies at Farnborough Airshow
-- F/A-18F Super Hornet, C-17 Globemaster III, and Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey
to make demonstration flights
-- Korean Air 737-900ER to showcase Boeing Sky Interior features

CHICAGO, June 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Boeing Company today announced
that its 787 Dreamliner will participate for the first time in flying
displays at the Farnborough International Airshow, which runs July 9-15
outside London. Boeing also will present its Enduring Awareness Pavilion, a
comprehensive display of advanced command, control, communication, computer,
intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) capabilities.

"We are showcasing a full range of innovative new products, systems, and
services from our commercial, defense, space, and security businesses," said
Tom Downey, senior vice president, Boeing Communications. "We're looking
forward to the opportunities the show provides to meet with customers,
partners, and other stakeholders".

A Boeing 787 Dreamliner in Qatar Airways livery will be on static display
July 9-11. Boeing plans to fly the fuel-efficient airplane in the daily show
displays. The airplane will be open by invitation only. In addition, Korean
Air will display its newest Boeing 737-900ER July 9-12. Boeing will feature
the new 737 MAX with a program update and a full-scale model of the 737 MAX
Advanced Technology winglet will be on view in the Boeing static display
area.

The Enduring Awareness Pavilion is an interactive exhibit focused on C4ISR
across every operational domain -- air, land, sea, space, and cyberspace. It
will showcase more than 20 technologies -- including the P-8A Poseidon,
Space-Based Space Surveillance system, Airborne Early Warning and Control,
eXMeritus HardwareWall, unmanned airborne systems from ScanEagle to Phantom
Eye, and other capabilities. The Pavilion, at location OE/5 and adjacent to
the Boeing Chalet, will be open during normal air show hours for all
visitors.

During the show's daily flying display, Boeing will demonstrate the
capabilities of its advanced, multi-role F/A-18E/F Super Hornet fighter.
Also on the flying program are the innovative Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey
tiltrotor and the tactical and strategic C-17 Globemaster III airlifter. The
company and its customers will display several other systems, including the
F-15E Eagle fighter and the AH-64D Apache Longbow attack helicopter.
Visitors will be able to see these aircraft until Sunday, July 15.

Together with the Royal Aeronautical Society, Boeing is presenting airplanes
built by students at the Yateley School (Hampshire) and the Marling school
(Gloucestershire). They are the first two complete planes among the six
being built by schools participating in the "Schools Build a Plane
Challenge" -- an initiative providing young people in U.K. secondary schools
with the opportunity to build an operational light aircraft from a kit.

Boeing will hold a series of media briefings during the show, as listed
below. Media attending the show should check the briefing schedule daily at
the Boeing- sponsored Farnborough International Airshow Media Centre and the
Boeing media chalet, located in chalet row B 1-6, for updates.
