    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".

    Awesome! Just awesome! Loving how the wings noticeably bend up as she climbs out... Very elegant machine!
    Glad the weather broke enough to let Boeing get the flight test program underway. :borat: :D

    Awesome coverage so far. I touched down at LGA in a Northwest DC9 just as the Dreamliner was taking off, what timing.

    @NYCAviation's boots on the ground in Everett report that it started drizzling about 10 minutes after takeoff. :borat:
