Parked next to that Emirates plane... isn't that Terminal D?
That's the first time I've heard of one of these pulling up to a gate at a working airport anyway.

That looks like a meatball on the side of the engine. It may be one of the 2 GE engined 787 test aircraft.

Airliners.net says it's line #5 (GE engine).

So what'd you think? The first thing that I thought about the plane aside from it's *FINALLY* in the air! was that it's amazing how quiet the thing is.
