Default 787 First Test Flight

Finally! I like the picture showing the Chief Test Pilot. Would love to have his job although it sounds scary and I am hardly a jockette. Better stick to my little 172.

Coffee shop is open on Tuesday or I would make my way to Paine Field for a look and some pictures.

Aw man, I wanted to go up to BFI and see this...turns out I have jury duty that day.

Oh well, guess I'll be watching from the confines of Government Center rather than from the flight line.

I'm thinking of flying a Cessna down there from Bellingham maybe Tuesday morning. I Haven't looked into it too much yet, but sure would be neat to get ramp-side seats!

What do you guys think? Feasible or will there be too much security?
