Pretty shot. They were doing flight tests of the winglets on that thing when I was out at Williams in PHX about 8 years ago.

Thanks. When viewed larger, the focus is a bit off but considering I shot the thing through a fence, I really can't complain. That and these are a rare sight. It was in town in connection with the POTUS visit down in the southeast corner of the state.
Another rare shot, for me anyway:

It's great seeing people excited just to fly on an airplane, even if they are under the age of 7.

Probably not terrible, but 2 more engines means 2 more potential problems. I think for the cabin size, range and speed, there are a lot more cost effective and reliable machines out there. I remember talking to a Jetstar pilot about 12 years ago when I was I line tech, and he swore the airplane was one of the best designs ever. Hell, it's a Kelly Johnson creation!

Roger Roger was invading the upper Lynn Canal today!
I think he forgot to raise the flaps in the flare!
