Boeing Co\'s long-delayed 787 completed its maiden trans-Pacific journey yesterday and landed in Japan, where the more fuel-efficient jet will undergo testing this week with All Nippon Airways in preparation for its first commercial launch. The \"Dreamliner\" touched down at Tokyo\'s Haneda Airport from Seattle early yesterday to applause and a white \"Welcome to Japan\" banner held by flight attendants and workers. Two fire trucks shot out celebratory arches of water as the aircraft approached the hangar. ANA even offered a live video feed of the landing on Ustream. As of yesterday afternoon, the video had been viewed more than 37,000 times. Pilot Masayuki Ishii said he stayed calm during the flight but grew emotional upon landing and seeing the excitement on the ground.
