The Dream Tour in Rockford



One of the coolest parts of working at the airport is getting to host special events! For the past two days RFD has played host to the Boeing 787 Dreamliner Dream Tour. You can follow the dream tour on twitter #dreamtour

How did RFD get on the list of stops? For those of you who don't know, the Rockford region is a hot bed for aerospace corporations. The Dream Tour came to town so that Boeing partners Hamilton Sundstrand, Woodward Governor, Rockwell, GE, Ingersoll and many more!

Over two days we've seen over 2,000 people who were involved in the construction of components of the aircraft get to step on the the aircraft. The best part of the tour has been standing in the doorway as people take their first step on and watch as they can't help but smile and say "wow!"



The dream tour has been spectacular and Boeing can certainly be proud of the final product. As with all special events the dream tour didn't last long, but on its way out of town it again showed what an incredible asset this region has in its airport. The 787 just took off of our 10,000 foot runway flying non-stop to Dublin, Ireland.

A beautiful airplane and a reminder of what an incredible place Rockford, Illinois is in the world of aviation.
