First 787 for LAN painted and on the flightline

Everett photographer Matt Cawby got a stunning photo of LAN's first 787 ZA536 (LN 68, CC-BBA) out on the 40-51 ramp after being painted.  The aircraft though reported by CAPA to be delivered in November is supposed to be delivered in August.  I expect that LAN should have at least two more 787s delivered by the end of this year.

    looks like there is a log jam on the flightline...
    - ANA 51 awaiting C1 flight
    - ANA 7 awaiting B1 flight
    - ANA 66 awaiting B1 flight
    - LAN 68 awaiting B1 flight
    - QAT 58 C1 flight expected upon return to KPAE
    ... and in the paint hangar:
    - ETH 49 awaiting painting
    - ANA 67 awaiting painting
    - ANA 69 awaiting painting

    I expected a lot of that starting Mon morning when the runway opened but its now Wed night and...

    Cheers

    seems to be a China Southern frame on the flightline (stall 103) according to Matt's new picture?
