Saw a post over at BRM's place, and found a link to this in one of the comments. It's the flight path from the Flight Aware website, and it's damn near as cool as Tex Johnson's Barrel Roll in the Dash-80.
Well done, guys!

Merry Christmas - <i>He Is Born</i> -
I'd like to wish my friends here a very Merry Christmas, and a very Happy New Year. We'll be having our Christmas Dinner with family...
That is neat and over Moses Lake where Boeing does a lot of testing and training.
ReplyDeleteYep, been to the area a couple times. Quite beautiful.
DeleteThere was a fantastic documentary on its creation and safety record long ago. Can't remember which network History or discover ran it but the history of that plane is really cool
ReplyDeleteThere have been several excellent documentaries on how Boeing "Bet The Farm" on the 747. Just building the assembly hall was quite a feat.
DeleteYep, great 'pass' on the way out, and thank goodness for autopilots and waypoints... LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering who plotted the flight path, and how they loaded it into the autopilot. I didn't know commercial aircraft had that capability.
