OMG I'M SOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY!!!!! I HATE Airbus, I LOVE Boeing!! Omg congratulations Boeing for FINALLY getting this aircraft off the ground!!!!! I can't wait for it to enter service and Qantas is getting around 50 of them so i'll be in that plane in no time!!
Crazy comment, to love one and hate the other!?!? Both are great, and thankfully each make the other create better aircraft! I think Airbus has a slight upper hand at the mo!
This brought a tear to my eye. We've waited so long and it was such a beautiful sight as the aircraft roared down the runway and she transitioned weight from the wheels to the wings. Then she soared into the sky where she belongs. Truly an inspiring moment. This will secure America's place as the world leader in civil aviation for another generation. Airbus is good but nothing else is a Boeing. :)
Not uncommon for first flights. It's a "just in case" move, to mitigate against potential hydraulic failure which might leave the gear in a state other than down-and-locked. Not good to bend up the bird on her very first flight. ;)
They keep the gear down in case of a problem and they need to land again, bringing the gear up is one of the many initial tests it does during the first flight.
This video's cool! Then got awkward at 1:16...

Beautifull plane! But just a curiosity, why didn't they retract the landing gear right after take off?
