....787 that is.

Landing at BFI on a typically Seattle day. Had to go clear out on the
balcony for this shot, which is about as far as this bum ticker lets
me go these days anyway. Thanks to Flightaware.com for the awareness
of this flight...

And golly, those are really ~big~ blowy-pushy things under the wings.

Mercy, I guess those two big howlers make up for those pitiful skinny wings.
Thanks.

She's actually pretty quiet. Coasting at this point, of course.
Though I still think the 777 is quieter.

We've got some northerly winds for a couple days, so maybe I can catch
on of the 787s departing over my neck of the woods to see how quiet it
is.

Or I could just go lie down.

Bob, Is that something trailing off the vertical stab or just artifact on
the frame? Looks triangular shaped with a cable?

What he said.

Capitalism. When you just don't have the time to develop your own
trailing cone system for RVSM certification and flight test.

That, or Boeing is from Remulac...
