After spending a little more than 3 hours in the air, the Boeing 787 landed at Seattle Boeing Field at approximately 1:35 pm PST. It taxied off the runway under its own power and stopped short of parking in order for Boeing technicians to examin the aircraft. It was then towed to a hanger where a post-flight press conference was held between the media and the various staff of Boeing that were involved in the 787 project.
The first post-flight press conference began at approximately 2:15 pm PST.
