Dash 9

I have been sort of pushed into doing a profile of the 787-9 before I can finish the others on which I'm trying to get done for the Boeing Centennial celebration next year. A lot of the 787 people are pretty interested for office decoration. After studying all the airline liveries and finding that most of them are ugly, wild, or boring, I settled on the ANA design. It's pretty clean and bright and looks good on the airplane . So, maybe Lou would be interested.

 

I thought about that, too, so it will work. I took a look at the initial launch customer, New Zealand, and I couldn't bring myself to even try to illustrate it and I'm not going to paint that airplane black anyway.

 

Thank you. The -10 is in the design stage and has been for a while, I'm told.

 

I worked on that for several months and it was STUBBY AND UGLY. I worked on a study of putting the 767 shortened fuselage on a 757 wing. I successfully modified the structures to get them to join but the entire airplane was too heavy, of course. Possibly the only half way successful exercise of that sort was the 747 SP.
