I thought it was now the 787.


It is, but WTF does it matter?

Sorry, you hit a sore spot with me. Nothing personal, Frank.

Zillions of posts here and on other aviation fora about the significance of
the model number of an airplane, and they are all a waste of time and
energy, as far as I'm concerned...

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet...

Somehow people seem to get a near-orgasmic joy because an aircraft has a
certain number. I just don't get it.
