An engineless ZA005 rolled out of Paint Hangar 45-03 yesterday afternoon in Everett, WA sporting a fresh livery. This particular 787 will be the first powered by General Electric GEnx-1B engines. When it went to the paintshop on July 9th, the aircraft had a rudder formerly painted in the colors of Royal Air Maroc, the original customer for the fifth and sixth flight test aircraft. The paint scheme of ZA005, now registered N787FT, is a simplified version of the Dreamliner scheme's wave and a blue tail similar to that of ZA006. Sources say the aircraft is expected to return to the factory shortly at position three inside Building 40-26.
