Ahhh, great angle on this vid. Can really see the amount of wing flex it has. Definitely a great looking plane!

Posted: Tue Dec 15, 2009 3:24 pmIt's sort of weird to think it flying... and looks so majestic too.
I hope the 787 enjoys and beats the success of the 747 and 737, in a way it already has.

Is it me or does that aircraft not need a lot of runway and are those wings bent like that?

Wing Flex for the 787 is impressive. I think it doesn't need much runway because it is not carrying a passenger load.
