Paine Tower 16R/34L 120.950
Approach/Departure 128.500
Clearance 126.75
Ground 121.80

Boeing Everett 123.475
(you will hear them declare "airworthy" and ask for SELCAL checks on the 475)
Boeing Seattle 123.425

During the 787 first flight the chase plane(s) were on 123.325 as well as the above freqs.

Scan 123.2-123.575 for other freqs that might be in use.

Supposedly taking off around 10am.

Lots of air to air on 123.225 between Boeing 008 and the chase planes. As of 1:45pm flying near Mt Baker trying to get photos as well as test various functions.
ATC 134.95. Also talk on 123.425 for some sort of flyby at Boeing Field with the -8I and the chase planes.
