\nJust hours after ZA001 vacated Paint Hangar 45-03 across from Boeing's Everett factory, ZA002 filled the open spot to receive its first coat of paint.
\n
\nZA002 completed ground vibration testing late last week, pushing the program ever closer to its first flight by the end of June. There is currently no indication about what colors the flight test aircraft will wear after customers ANA and RAM opted for early production aircraft instead of a block of the first six test 787s.
