First major step for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner was the start up of the engines today for the first time.
Lots of smoke from the protective oil used whilst the engine sits in stoarage before first start up.

Gorgeous looking aircraft and I can't wait to see her take to the skies within the next month (hopefully if things go well with the tests).
