So cool!

Too bad I'll never fly one.

they normally dont raise the gear on first flights. They didn't with the A380 either.

 

[Rudabega]

Congrats to Boeing, I love having some good news for a change.

Wow that was some serious wing flex. Don't think they will put the gear up first flight will they?

Test Pilot said my favorite two pet peeves: "Active" and "With you".

 

[Cessnaflyer]

first flight they usually keep the gear down. The T-33 part was awesome as was the wing flex!

 

[Rudabega]

That wing flex is going to make some passengers pale.

"I wonder why its waiting to take off, maybe its taking some final pictures or something" Fox News.

I hate media coverage of aviation. Great take off though, looks as if everything is going smoothly!

I really like the look of that plane, really sleek and sexy.

 

[Bumblebee]

that was beautiful...I really thought the shape was stunning.:clap:

Beautiful aircraft. Just made it back to my computer in time after taking a test to see it.

The Fox News commentary is what was playing in the lobby of the FBO. It made me want to stab myself in the eardrums.

To be fair, when they're live they can't have dead air...they have to say something whether intelligent or stupid.

My company makes the primary flight actuation hardware so it was very nice seeing our years of R&D come to fruition! Beautiful plane, now let's hope it lives up to its efficiency claims.

Great takeoff. What a beautiful bird.

I was tempted.

Well yeah, that would make it awkward, but still. Pictures? Really? Also, the guy reporting was a pilot.... I mean come on.

Thank goodness it wasn't Wolf Blitzer.

Sometimes "dead air" is good.

"I... wonder... if... the... pilots... will... have... their... laptops... out.... are... they... well... rested? We'll... go... live... to... TMZ... and... Gloria... Allred... on... split... screen.."

Just takes a visit to the local flight surgeon and you can get a student pilot's license.

how cool was that... she was a beautiful plane in flight...that wing flex is wild!

ah, they killed the audio, I was hoping they would keep the atc feed up!

Why couldn't they have Robin Meade, or Julie Banderas, or Ainsley Earhardt, or Martha MacAllum then?

That thing has some serious wingflex... beautiful takeoff. Hope all goes well out over the ocean and we'll see them back at BFI... seeing the T-33's at 10ft in slow flight was pretty sweet too!

Touche Mr. Taylor, Touche.

He said when he did his training, so I assumed too much of him. Although he did know what the runway numbers stood for
