Ok this is out of the blue but the first 787-9 for Gulf Air, ZB858, (LN 689, A9C-FA) is flying to Awali Sakhir Air Base in Bahrain. I haven't the foggiest idea why but it had left Paine Field at 2:15 PM local time as BOE 858.
Prior to today's flight this aircraft had only the one Boeing (B-1) test flight and, according to my data, is not due to be delivered until late April. In addition it is flying to a Bahraini Air Base and not a commercial airport so it is a little suspicious unless Boeing wants to show off Gulf Air's new toy to Bahraini royalty which is plausible. I really doubt this any sort of delivery flight as it is flying under a Boeing test flight number.
