SANTIAGO - We saved the best for last during our time here at the FIDAE Air Show in Chile. All eyes were on the 787 today as the airplane took off for a demo flight. I wanted to share some of the images from the flight over the gorgeous Andes.

The 787’s Rolls-Royce engines. LAN will use RR engines on its fleet.
I’m proud to say that this was yet another show where the 787 was the star attraction. Hundreds of customers and journalists got the chance to come aboard and see what makes this airplane so special. It was also great for me to take part in another leg of the Dream Tour and to visit with our customer LAN. You can feel the excitement as they prepare to put the Dreamliner into service. I’ll leave you with a photo gallery from our time here in Chile. (Photos in this post by Marian Lockhart, Adam Morgan and Scott Lefeber).

Welcoming aboard some of our many guests in Santiago.
The engines are always a hit with photographers.

Going nose to nose.. The 787 and the A380.
The A380 kicks up its heels and a lot of dust during its demo flight.
