787-9 Low altitude aerobatics
 

Check this out:



I still haven't figured out how to embed video.
Yes I've read the tutorial. I still manage to muck it up.

ummm.... fake?

What makes you say that? Light load it with gas and strip the interior... Make it a rocket ship. As far as the camera work, Boeing builds some of the most sophisticated UAVs flying. Some air-air work is an easy day.

Excellent video. It never ceases to amaze me the kind of performance modern airliners are capable of when lightly loaded.

Not fake.

Here's a classic demo flight. Some believe that Tex was the inspiration for Maj. Kong in "Dr. Strangelove".

It's a animation. Look closely at the wing flex ect.. You can also see the actual flight demo at Farnborough. Nose attitude is about half this video for about half the time.

It's real. I Watched the flight a couple of weeks ago from the flight line at Grant county airport Moses Lake Wa. Any Big Bend grad will recognize the airport and school in the background. They used a helicopter for the shots from the air. Was very cool to watch. We had no idea what was going on at the time and just thought this was part of a normal test flight.

Boeing does much of thier flight test flights here to Moses Lake. So we see theses guys fly in and out all day as we mix it up in our little single engine B19s.

Those wings flex 26 feet.

Which part of that flight is "aerobatic"?

The take-off attitude just looks too crazy to be real on that first take-off
