Boeing 787 Dreamliner

My shots of 001 from AirVenture caught Boeing's attention which led to my invite to Everett last fall for the handoff to ANA which led to my being at Sky Harbor for 003's visit...

That's awesome!! Are you planning on attending this year too. I think I found my flight. Planning on just being there Thur - Sun.

I am planning on going.  Hope to be there Sunday to Monday.

Given the amount of gear I haul, I end up driving out and back.  Nice two week getaway!

Nice!

If I'd known he was going to takeoff after rush hour I might have made my way down there.

Thanks!  I like the way it shows that the 787 is at Phoenix.

The heads up display



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.



I like this second shot, as it really shows off the curvature of the wing's leading & trailing edges.

Along with Brian, I waited for about two hours Monday morning to catch the departure of the 7late7, errrr 787.

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!
