Quoting tortugamon (Reply 9): Both of these are done at MWH airport not yet in Europe. |
Quoting KarelXWB (Reply 15): Actually they got a penalty for banking so close to the ground. |
Quoting Revelation (Reply 18): You can see the "tree" for the alert aircraft from its days as a SAC base. |
Quoting bellancacf (Reply 10): What a creation. |
Quoting tortugamon (Reply 9): |
Quoting tortugamon (Reply 24): I didn't know it was a base. How interesting. |
Quoting Gopal (Reply 27): a) If I understand correctly B787 in the video is meant for Vietnam airlines. Then whose pilots were performing the stunts - Boeing's or Vietnam airlines' pilots ? |
Quoting Gopal (Reply 27): b) Also I were Vietnam airlines, I would be somewhat hesitant to buy a plane that has undergone such extreme maneuvers and resulting stresses to the wings, fuselage and other systems. These maneuvers would be equivalent to a 3-4 regular "cycles", I would think. It would be like a buying a brand new car and letting the dealership drag-race it a few times before taking delivery. Would Vietnam airlines get a discount for buying an airplane with a few "miles" on it ? |
Quoting 817Dreamliiner (Reply 28): They are Boeing test pilots, it says so in the article... |

Quoting NYPECO (Reply 36): How in the world did it take off in such a short amount of runway AND a steep angle? |
Quoting 817Dreamliiner (Reply 28): I mean even QR letting Boeing fly there 787s like that at a previous airshow... |
Quoting tortugamon (Reply 29): That being said, why would VN agree? Because its fantastic publicity for the airline. |
Quoting warren747sp (Reply 31): An Airbus doing the same would have stalled? |
Quoting NYPECO (Reply 36): |
Quoting iahcsr (Reply 44): Surprised Airbus hasn't done a similar vid with the A350.....yet? |
Quoting yellowtail (Reply 20): there is some forced perspective and nice camera work into the shot. |

Quoting CrimsonChin (Reply 43): Ah I remember the days when a Boeing exec criticized Airbus flying displays, saying something along the lines of it being "reckless"(not his exact words). I wonder what has changed lol. |
