Have you ever been on a 787? Unfortunately, I have not had the chance yet. I’m looking forward to that opportunity.

I grew up in Kent, WA when they were testing the 747. Over my house. Seeing just how slowly it could go without stalling out. Those big loud engines made the house shake, and the plane seemed to just stand there in the air.

My dad was a UAL pilot, and that was quite impressive.

Of course, a test pilot once rolled a 707 to show off to some buyers. Love to see that again....

Impressive, for an airliner.

However, a WW-II Mustang pilot is laughing in his beer.

Not to mention an Eagle, Falcon, or Raptor pilot.

Not to belittle Boeing...which builds the best airliners, bar none.

Several years ago, at an air show at Dover AFB, I watched a C5-B take off, straight up, then loop before landing. I’ll never forget that sight. Simply breathtaking.

Interesting wingtip design. I bet they were peeling their kit off the ceiling after that initial pushover.

Obama aún no se ha pronunciado sobre el derrocamiento del presidente ...
Look, Boeing didn't make that...

Not quite like a fighter jet. Impressive, though, in some areas.

A friend flew 747’s. He said that sometimes they need to move one from on airport to another. The only payload is a pilot and enough fuel to get to a nearby airport. No passengers, no luggage, no service items. He said the performance was like a fighter jet.

The first thing that I do when booking flights is look at the equipment.
I will always, always, always select a Boeing product first.
More sound-reducing insulation is used and the configuration of overhead storage is consistently superior in an American-built Boeing aircraft.

When I went to Egypt with the MFO the air strip at Sharm el Sheik was under construction so we got off the DC8 stretch in Cairo and flew in on Egypt Air 737. All of the EA pilots are Egyptin AF reserve officers and apparently they train any time they are in the air. Wow! Did things I never wanted to see in a commercial air liner.
