B787 First Flight Tomorrow
« on: December 14, 2009, 10:35:18 AM »
Finally (well at the moment anyway) the 787 takes to the skies tomorrow at 1800z...

Are there any Radar Boxes sharing data from that area? (Will it be ADSB anyway on a test flight?)

Good Morning;
    Depending on where they go, I might be able to pick it up.  I have an alert configured to send to my work address and will post here if it happens for me.  I pick up most Boeing test flights when they fly up the coast and around the Olympic Peninsula.  My logs are posted to the MODE_S group.

From what I have heard the first flight may be delayed due to weather.  Essentially it has to be VFR conditions with a dry runway and light winds for the first flight.  I don't think the Seattle weather is going to meet those conditions for this much of this week.

I am currently traveling on business and therefore my RB in Seattle is shutdown but I will be broadcasting on the net from the Seattle area 24/7 by this coming weekend.  There are actually six (6) different 787 aircraft that will be conducting initial flight tests in the coming months so you should see quite a bit of 787 flight activity.
