Yes, finally its official. Boeing 787's first flight will occur on Tuesday December 15th at 10am, weather permitting. Really looking forward to seeing this baby in the air after much delay, hope it all goes well. 8-)

Seconded. 787 first flight has been imminent twice already (August 2007 and June 2009).

They performed some taxi tests this morning.
