Boeing 787 Dreamliner to Make Tournament Flyover
With the 44th annual RBC Heritage Presented by Boeing taking place April 9-15, 2012 on Hilton Head Island’s Harbour Town Golf Links, tournament spectators will experience one of South Carolina’s most talked about new exports.
At Noon on Friday, April 13, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner will make a low-altitude flyover approaching from the South from tee to green over the 18th fairway (pending FAA final approval and clear weather).
The flyover will be during the second round of the PGA TOUR event.
“The RBC Heritage offers the perfect spot to showcase the 787 Dreamliner in South Carolina,” said Jack Jones, Boeing South Carolina Vice President and General Manager. “I’m always excited to offer an opportunity for people to view first-hand our company’s most technologically advanced airplane.”
“This is the same airplane model that South Carolinians are building at Boeing’s South Carolina facility. We are so excited to be able to showcase the tremendous work that people in the Palmetto State are now accomplishing,” said Tournament Director Steve Wilmot. “We are equally as excited for our spectators and PGA TOUR golfers to be able to witness this amazing sight.”
Daily tickets and weeklong badges for this year’s tournament are still on sale online at www.rbcheritage.com or by visiting the tournament office in the parking lot of the Harbour Town Golf Links. The Hilton Head/Bluffton Chamber of Commerce is selling tickets at their mid-island location and at the Hilton Head Island Welcome Center.
