BOJA784A and BODAALD currently following each other down the west coast of the USA at FL378 and FL390. I'm guessing that the 787 is off Boeing field but I thought the Aerologic 777 had already been delivered. Maybe too much Xmas pudding.

UK time is 6.35pm

JA784A is infact a B77W destined for ANA out of Paine Field. It just happened to be airborne at the same time as the ANA schemed B788 during the latters maiden flight the other day. This caused confusion in many forums.

The same flickr photostream confirms the Aero Logic as still being at Paine field on Christmas day.
