It’s still so new – but the 787 Dreamliner is already a museum piece.
On Saturday, Nov. 8, the Boeing Company will officially donate Dreamliner “Number 3” to Seattle’s Museum of Flight.
If you’re in town, you’ll be able to see the plane in the museum’s East Parking Lot all weekend and tour it from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday, and all day Sunday, Nov. 9.
The plane will then be relocated and closed to the public from Nov. 10 until the 21st while it gets prepped for permanent exhibition starting Nov. 22.
We're getting ready to donate ZA003 to Seattle's @museumofflight on Saturday. See you there: http://t.co/ceqpETEaxV pic.twitter.com/zxXt8Zo1ti

What’s the big deal about this airplane?
This 787 – ZA003 – was the third Dreamliner built. It first flew on March 14, 2010 and, in addition to its role in the flight test and certification program, Boeing flew this plane to almost two dozen countries to show it off as part of a “Dream Tour.”
