Too bad it wasn't the 787. That would be worth a drive.

Hopefully they fly her out here to BDL one of these days. Are all these flights to check if these "smaller" airports can handle them? If so I would certainly think they would give BDL a try since it is a diversion point for JFK.

With a 10000' foot runway it's not really whether they can handle them but more of a place without a lot of traffic with room to park and do whatever they need to do as they test the aircraft.

That makes sense too.

I think they are putting them through reliabiltiy trials at the present. They've been flying all over the country lately.

I've noticed that. Hopefully the Northeast is on the radar here pretty soon.

According to Flight Aware, it was in MDT a grand total of three minutes. Landed at 1451L / Departed at 1454L, you blinked, you missed it,

I believe it was a touch and go, it didn't even come to a stop!

And it's so quiet you probably wouldn't've heard it either! Very short "stop".

how disappointing
