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)

[Jbong]

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...

[Joe Copalman]

I'm working Monday but will probably come out on my lunch break to catch it one last time.

[Jbong]

Sounds good, I will be there.

[Stephen Marshall]

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.

Taxiing back to the Cargo/ICE Ramp.

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.
