Contest: 787 first flight still up for grabs

With the recent brouhaha over whether the Boeing Co. has pushed the first flight of its 787 into October, it’s a good time to remind readers about our 787 contest.

Boeing says its plane will fly when its ready to fly. I’ll hand out a 787 collectible to the person who comes up with the closest date and time to actual flight.

Contest participants remain pretty evenly split thus far with most entries placing the Dreamliner’s maiden voyage in either mid-September or the first week of October.

I’m also asking readers to submit their estimates for how long that first flight will last.

Check out my original blog entry for more details or send me an e-mail with your guesses.
