It is a great spot, and the crew tends to throw 787 hats over the fence!
Interesting - there wasn't a track for the #4 ID on FlightAware.
(it looks shorter than I was expecting)
hey Joe I will out there monday if you want to hang out. I need to bring the sun screen. I am already looking like ricky the raccoon and its only may...
I'm working Monday but will probably come out on my lunch break to catch it one last time.
Sounds good, I will be there.
I'll be at Willie late tomorrow and most of Monday. I call dibs on the next hat!!
Arriving back at Willie after a short test flight. This test flight obviously didn't go as planned. The flight was scheduled to be over four hours, but she was back on the ground with a tug sent out to fetch her after only 30 minutes.

Great Shots Matt, I shouldnt be jealous because I just got back from a cruise in which I got to spend the day at St Maarten (SXM).
Nice to see that the Dreamliners visit has been and is well documented.
...nice shots...very nice!
On first approach into Williams-Gateway, Sat. about 2:15
The wing flex is considerable.
Couple from me. Trying to post some different angles.

Took this one last night. Went over with a couple friends to check her out and happened to catch a few test flights.
A couple more shots from today's activity.
Just to add to the Beautiful pics.
To All. These are some very nice shots of the Dreamliner. How long will it be in the area?
It left last night. :'(
Sorry I missed the opportunity, but I've been on the east coast for the past several weeks, the Group really got some tremendous shots and I can always admire their work. ;D Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks Vance. Sorry you missed it. Really not a lot of good opportunities for shots of it on the ground - lots of clutter, people, etc in the way. Then again, they brought it here for test work, not to have its picture taken. There were a few opportunities for takeoff/landing/taxi shots, but they were few and far between, and always much later than the Boeing people said they'd be.
Jason, it was good seeing you out there. Nice to finally meet you.

Adding a Welcome! for Aaron as well...
That's a very fine first post!!
And Joe, that's a bigazz engine (now go finish packing...!)
Aaron nice and welcome aboard! :)
Here are two shots showing the wingtip configuration. Interesting that there are no winglets, but Boeing went with a raked tip, similar to the 777-300ER?.
The wingtip shape and orientation of the wingtip is certainly different. Maybe they've just reoriented and reshaped the winglets because their simulations show that the tip shape rather than its vertical position provides better mitigation of the wingtip vortices and associated turbulence.
A few of mine from 5/24

Or maybe the wing tip flex SO MUCH that they will be in the vertical position any way ;D
thank you for the warm welcome, and it was very nice to meet you as well joe!
I certainly seems to have lots of flex...looks like a B-52 wing under a full load airborne. Those engines are enormous...big too :-)

Very wall-worthy Matt!
Hello everyone, Im James, just joined the forum so i could show you my pictures of the dreamliner! all these were taken for taxiway B at IWA, and one from the ramp with at G450 in the foreground enjoy

Welcome James! Nice addition to the series. I take it you instruct at IWA in some capacity given your ramp access?
If you see guys with cameras over by the gazebo, be sure to pop over. Good bet some of them are some of us! ;D
I actually instruct out of DVT, but stop at IWA often for a bathroom and snack break between students.

The engines are so big that it makes the airplane look smaller than it really is. Is the Dreamliner a 767/777 class airliner, or is it bigger?
I think I saw something somewhere that said 787 =
- 757 / 767 Class in terms of capacity
- 777 Range and Efficiency

That sounds about right, it was smaller than I thought it would be.

Paine Field (PAE, KPAE)
Overflow of 787s on Boeing's ramps (notice none of them have engines). There must be close to a dozen 787s stashed all over Paine Field, and there are at least four more at Boeing Field. Boeing keeps producing them, but they can't deliver until they are certified.

Yeah, when we were driving onto the base I saw it but then realized was way too far for their static display, I then thought I would drive around the other side of the base after the show but again we were directed east so tired and with a 3hr drive ahead of me I decided to just bolt, a decision I regret now

20 seconds later, she was in the clouds and gone...
Very cool set of images, Jay. My favorite is the wide-angle shot. Just a very cool feel to it.
There wasn't a whole lot of time to get "creative" because once they cut the tug loose, they got going pretty quickly.
It was kind of funny that when we got up on the balcony of the Future of Flight, I'm scanning all across the way looking for the 787 and it took me a minute or two to realize she was actually parked below us as seen in #2. Even the APU is unusually quiet so there wasn't anything to call attention to the fact that she was only about 100' away! :-\
And man, it was dark! ISO 6400 in #2 and it was all I could do to manage 1/30 or so on the shutter speeds. Not a lot of keepers until the sun started to try and punch its way through the cloud deck. Too bad they couldn't have waited until the afternoon which was gorgeous and lighter winds meant they probably could have departed to the north instead of to the south. :'(
Great images Jay. Sounds and looks like you had an interesting experience and very cool opportunity. Look forward to hearing/seeing more in the future.
+1 with Joe on the wide-angle - I really like the 787's swoopie wings.
Really awesome, Jay, looks like it was a great experience! I also agree, I really like the wide-angle shot.

Conditions sucked; however, I wanted to see this bird in-person. Here is the best I've got thus far. I'm working on a B&W version; however, I'm not quite satisfied with that yet.

Does anyone know when the 787 is scheduled to depart?

No visible test equipment on this aircraft, it was mostly a passenger aircraft. They did have sections without seating.

Boeing's site doesn't have any info on it yet - but the original msg thread (http://azaerophoto.com/forum/index.php?topic=1661.0) - listed Phoenix through the 12th and San Diego on the 13th.
Plan on watching Boeing's Twitter feed on Monday for more info.
The engines had what appeared to be some extra wiring that I'm guessing was for test instrumentation. Incredibly large nacelles!
Seating up toward the front.
Great shots guys.
Excellent shots guys. :)
Did any of you get to get on ZA001 when it was at Oshkosh last yer?.
I have a bunch of shots inside and out on my Picasa page. The majority of the inside with all the test equipment and water ballasts are toward the end.

I have more pictures but they were taken with a driod cell phone, they are very 'soft' and will not clean up.
Along with Brian, I waited for about two hours Monday morning to catch the departure of the 7late7, errrr 787.
This first one is dedicated to our Far East correspondent and his fascination with gear retraction shots...added bonus that I caught the beacon too. The front windscreens on this airplane almost look as if they are painted on vs. the look of the 737's windscreens that create a definitive break in the line of the upper fuselage.

They were late in departing because of an APU problem and needed to repair it. Ironically, their destination, Long Beach, was to visit the teams that produce the APUs... that must have been a bit awkward!

While the 787 planform is still pretty new to me, I'm pretty confident I've identified this one correctly. My first thought was that it looked like a 777 (200 series?), but the more I looked at it, the more I convinced myself it's actually a 787. The color scheme seems to match up with United's livery too. This was shot the other day, so not sure if I can go back and find flight data on it.

Having spent a little time around them at Oshkosh, Everett and PHX, it sure looks like a 787 to me.
Nice Catch!
It does look like a 787, and I believe United is flying theirs to LAX right now.

Now that I have completed the VFR element of my flight training at Goodyear, I am back in the UK for the remaining IFR flying. So no more clear Arizona skies for me, as evidence here is the first 787 to be delivered to BA on arrival at London Heathrow.
If I am a good boy and behave myself for a few years, may get to fly this beauty! Hope to be back on the mound at Gateway one day, no doubt there will still be Harriers on the line........

American Airlines' first 787-823 N800AN makes its third landing at Sky Harbor on March 1, 2015.
Great catch Brian. Finally something other than an A320 or 737! It's a surprisingly chunky aircraft, I like it!
Nice catch Brian. I saw the Dreamliner on final from my parents backyard (mandatory Sunday visit) and it looked to be going for a south approach. A short time later, I went outside again to show my dad the BA747 coming on final and it looked like the 787 had performed a quick touch-n-go and was making a second approach to the north. Maybe I was seeing things, but it sure looked like the same AA787 on final to the north. When I got home and checked FlightAware, it appeared to have simply bounced (once or twice) and headed straight back to DFW.

Jeff,
She landed (once) on 25R and then parked at the west cargo ramp for about 30 minutes. Departure was also on 25R, with a southerly turn back to the east. It doesn't look like that 2nd aircraft ever made it to El Paso.
- Dave
Thanks Scott and Jeff! I've been tracking that 787 since it filed its first flight plan to Phoenix last Monday. I was on the wrong side of the airport for its first visit. I was five minutes late for its second departure.
It made a full stop and pulled into west cargo after it landed tonight. It took off again 35 minutes later.
Both flight plans were for the same airplane.

Brian, Matt, Ross & Dave - Terrific images of the Dreamliner. I love the lines of the platform and you guys did a nice job showing it off in some challenging conditions.
Thanks Jeffe,
Yep, those clouds really made it an interesting afternoon. Hopefully they'll bring her back for another trip or two after the weather clears out in a few days.
If anyone from American Airlines (that also has some influence on scheduling the 787's test flights) happens to read this, having her either land or depart anytime during the hour before sunset would just provide some awesome lighting...hint hint ;)
So will this operate under the same flight number (for alert purposes) or does the number change and you just have to watch El Paso -> Phoenix?

Thank you, Jeff! I love the lines of the 787 too, it's one sexy airplane. Last evening wasn't optimal for photography and I look forward to future opportunities.
Nice work guys! Been under the weather up until recently and haven't been too motivated to get out. Fortunately I still get to see the beautiful beast here. I have a friend at AA, I'll see if he has any info. He's former US Airways so I'm not sure how connected he is to the AA side.

I too love the sleekness and sexiness of her curves. This airplane just has that 'they-got-it-right' look to her.
Agreed. The nose has a similar look to the Caravelle, which is one of my all-time favorite airliners. Absolutely loving that belly shot, Dave.
Wow, you totally nailed that - it does look remarkably like a Caravelle....
Coulda/woulda/shoulda done a better job executing that belly shot. I should have known which orientation (portrait vs. landscape) would have been better suited...I chose wrong.
I'm a little behind in getting photos up, but I have to say the coverage we gave the Dreamliner the last couple of weeks especially last couple of days has been outstanding. It's been a pleasure to meet the few of you that I have so far and look forward to the future. Y'all are a rootin' tootin' bunch to shoot with. That is all
A little late to the party (what else is new?).

The wings flex that much... check out Jeff Welkers RWY 26 shot over in the Phoenix Sky Harbor section... It gives a great perspective of the 787 wing flex.
Just to beat a dead horse a little more...and too bad this month's challenge requires sunsets. This was at 1/125 (glad that sunny f-16 rule still works).

You are always too kind sir - thank you. Most of the credit goes to Rolls-Royce for designing and building this beauty. As you know, it is a monster of an engine. I could easily stand upright in that intake with room to spare.

Nice photo.
I would like to get your feedback on my I took earlier this evening. I am always trying to become a better photographer and am willing to listen to the advice of others. I got this shot just before sundown. I am not sure exactly what I can do to make this a better photo. I had my camera set at a shutter speed of 400, aperture of 5.6 and ISO setting at 3200. Any advice you guys can offer?
