This is not the 787 you are looking for.





Japan’s All Nippon Airways (ANA) has just revealed a new Boeing 787 Dreamliner, painted in a special Star Wars livery!

The plane was announced today in Anaheim, California, and will begin making international flights later this year.

How do you find a Convair? Just follow the trail of smoke.
