NBC anchor Brian Williams called Lester Holt an "aviation buff" as he introduced Holt's pre-taped hangar tour of the Boeing production line in Everett Wa. Holt had already returned to New York when Boeing's new Dreamliner finally took its maiden flight--after five postponements and two-and-a-half years of delay. His praise for its technological marvels had been wisely put on hold until the jet actually left the ground: "The key to the 787's efficiency," he tapped the skin, "you are listening to it. That is not aluminum like you would find in a traditional plane; rather it is carbon-fiber reinforced plastic." By the way, Holt properly reminded us that his bosses stand to benefit if the 787 turns out to be a success: "Its new generation of engines includes versions built by NBC's parent company, General Electric."
