Birth of a Dream

Get ready to fly in style. The first Boeing 787 Dreamliner finished assembly Tuesday night in Everett, Washington. Local aviation lover Charles Conklin pulled a James Bond to snap some rare photos, waiting with camera in hand until the hangar gates opened and revealed the future of commercial flight.

The Dreamliner makes its official debut July 8, and could make its first flight later this summer. And though the interior design does look enticing, we're also excited about the new air filtration system, which Boeing says will make for a much more comfortable flight. Arriving at your destination without a sandpaper-dry throat and a headache sounds like heaven.—Gregory Mone
