    P-8 Poseidon First Flight

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

    Sweeeeet.
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    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...
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    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.
