lol, the paintwork is 95% complete! All they need to do is apply some stickers, protective sealant and voila. I'm really looking forward to seeing the cabin. Their A340's are looking tired. Should it come to DTW, I may actually be tempted to buy a premium economy ticket to fly the thing with visiting CDG being "my excuse."

With it being the 500th 787 and all, do any of you speculate there being a special sticker to be applied on this, or would it seem likely a carrier like QR will deliberately try and steal their thunder?

We don't know if this will be the 500th delivery. Deliveries may be out of sequence and the first 787s were test planes.
