Boeing 787-8 up CLose

Postby Airline Pilot » Tue Feb 17, 2009 11:38 am

The other day, (Because I live in Vancouver) I went to boeing field, Because I am a real pilot, They let me in the hangar, There I saw The 787-8. So beautiful and Majestic. It was amazing to see it up close. I really wanted to go inside the cockpit but....they didn't let me. Oh who cares, its a new plane isn't it? I bet Boeing wanted to keep it a surprise. As Sad as it could get, I never knew we were going to the hangar, I never brought my camera, so I have no pictures. Sorry. I need any comments will do.  :)     If you need a Virtual Airline, Visit mine....

Depends how nicely you chat to the inevitable ladies running the admin office. I got a nice guided tour of a special and fairly secretive facility specialising in restoring a well known fighter type at a well known Cambridgeshire (UK) flying museum once. The only time a flying suit's done anything for me. ;D

Honestly; I don't believe him.

Advertising his Virtual Airline;

A crappy poll that's been done to death;

And a very unlikely story?


Now, that's just my opinion. He may very well have seen it...

I just doubt it!

Gotta give him credit for his imagination though!  :P

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

I think we have all written him off as a kid with a vivid imagination and a need to impress others.
