This Sunday evening turned out to be a real slow, no show. Nothing much interesting on the TV, especially after the excitement of India winning against Australia in the Cricket ODI at Adelaide. Thus I ended up at Flightaware and was whiling away the time, when I chanced on this.
Two days back, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner took off from Boeing’s airfield - the Boeing Field International, flew on for more than 19 hours testing the new General Electric GEnx-1B engines. There is nothing new in that as that this particular 787 Dreamliner has already flown for ~30 hours in flight tests with same engines.
What was special was that this time, the 787 Dreamliner flew in a pattern which wrote a giant 787 and the Boeing Logo across the airspace of mid-Western United States.
Cute, isn't it? Here is a snapshot of the flight track record from Flightaware: (link here [http://flightaware.com/live/flight/BOE236/history/20120209/2100Z/KBFI/KBFI])
