LCF1 Returning to the US
BREAKING NEWS
The first large cargo freighter, N747BC will return on July 18, 2007 as BOE876 leaving Taiwan at 3:15 GMT and coming back to Everett by way of a fuel stop in Anchorage. LCF1 had been undergoing final modifications and received a full Dreamlifter paint job in Taiwan following the extensive metamorphosis over the previous year. N747BC will join its hard-working sister ship N780BA on normal rotations very soon as a transporter of 787 parts as the program moves toward first flight, flight testing and production ramp up.
UPDATE:
LCF1 snuck into the continental United States this afternoon as EIA574, arriving in Portland where it will undergo bridge work for the next several days before returning to Everett.

"Returning", not "returing". :-)
When (GMT or Pacific Daylight Time) is is scheduled to arrive in Everett?
Should be able to get a good view of it from the Future of Flight Muesum at Paine Field...they are most likely landing south right now.
Its not going to PAE it is going to PDX for bridge work. It will be at Boeing's PDX hangar for a few days.
Evergreen is officially the operator of the LCF. Evergreen crews are flying both airplanes.
Flight Aware shows KPAE which is Paine field...do you have another source which shows PDX?
yes
My sources at PDX say this is here for FAA certifications. And it's definitely here at KPDX and not KPAE. See my flickr.
