Number 5 is alive!

The fifth 787 that is. First flight a week or two ago, finally caught
it going into Boeing Field last Friday.

I follow the 787 test flights at Flightaware.com; this flight appears
to have been cut short from the planned duration. It did a pretty
impressive descent from 20,000'+ less than 50 miles from BFI - guess
somebody forgot to use the bathroom before they took off...

Nice shot, Bob!

Here's hoping the lines at the "bathrooms" at Arlington EAA
Fly-in this week are not too long!

Thanks.

I hope you are going to Arlington?

Not looking too likely for me; I still get tuckered just hauling the
trash downstairs... ={
