First flight!!! This one blindsided many of us as it didn't become public until last night...
More to come:

Those racked winglets look great!

nice catch! i wonder what the blisters on the fwd and aft fuselage and cowlings are. probably housing for some sort of sensors. the raked wingtips look way better than winglets, makes me wish they put them onto BBJs...

Here is a new a shot of a second Poseidon in full Navy colors at RNT.

Not a bad shot but I'm sure we will be seeing plenty of even better ones from our resident Seattle area photag.
