It's interesting watching the first flight live on the network - she's up to 200kt now, so I guess the gear's been raised - been doing pretty tight turns at around 140kt for some time - seems to be going well.

hi all
I have been watching this from 1740hrs GMT, and i am still glue to it, this is what networking is all about, there was great views of 787 and the Boeing team and crowds roaring at take off from the Boeing site live.

I'm surprised she's spending such a long time at just 5000ft.

Watched the webcast, quick question, I assume it took of from Everett/Paine Field from the webcast look like it landed at Boeing Field.  Is this correct?

Graham - I know the Boeing flight-tracker showed Boeing Field, but it did in fact land back at Paine Field.

EDIT - wrong - sorry - yes it did land at Boeing Field

Rod

[GreekSpy2001]

Maybe just did a landing at BF then returned back to Paine?  Certainly looked like it was landing at BF on the video.

First flight was cut short due to weather, they probably played it safe and landed where visibility and winds were best.

[Seneca Driver]

Believe that it was always intended that the flight would end at Boeing Field.  For some reason Boeing seems to like to run recurring test flights from BF. 

Hope to have my Seattle based RB up and running for any remaining flights - missed the first one due to being away on business travel.  BTW, I am sending this from a Delta 737 at 39,000 over Minnesota enroute from JKF to SEA using Delta's new WiFi airborne service.  Seems to work very well.  I am even tracking my own flight on Flight Explorer.

That sounds cool - I hate it when the airlines chop off the onboard GPS location display for an announcement, or when they are approaching an "unfriendly" country!
