Flight Test 787-8 ZA004 draws self portrait.
I rarely get to share what I do with the public, but in this case I'm proud to show off. The pattern is my design and it took some fine tuning to make it fit our test requirements. (flightaware.com) Más...Just cool.
This is AWESOME!
Wow!
I am so jealous that not only do you get to fly this thing but you get to be creative with it at the same time!
I wonder if someone can calculate the number of flights (could be the same plane more than once) that actually flew anywhere under or over that outline (not counting the outline approach and departure tracks) at some time during the period when it was actually being 'drawn'. Might be a good way to illustrate the intensity of air traffic now in the US!
BTW I am a non-pilot but avid reader of FlightAware and really enjoy the site...

With a reported range of 8,200 nautical miles, was this 9,896 mile flight refueled or did it barely complete its mission on fumes?
