urban909 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Looks like the 787 is making a rare stop at the Big Airport later this evening. If any of you want to brave the elements, here is the flight information. Should be landing around 19:00. http://flightaware.com/live/flight/BOE5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

august948 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 It's coming from Viru Viru airport in Bolivia, which seems like it would be a strange origin for a test flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Let's clarify that to "performing tests at high altitude airports". Viru Viru isn't that high, but La Paz is, 12,000 ft if memory serves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another one of the test 787s could be operating as Boeing 5.http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N787FTIt's going to depart sometime after 10:45am per a press release I found on HoustonSpotters.net.

MRain Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Hmm thought for sure someone would post a picture. Well if y'all are interested I braved the elements and was able to get on the ramp and get up close and personal with the plane. I was so excited I forgot my good camera at home so had to make due with the iPhone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sevfiv Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Thanks for posting the pictures! On a dingbat note, I meant to give MRain a positive rep, and accidentally hit the neg one I'll see if there's a fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

77006 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Somehow last night when I logged in to post the pictures I seemed to have managed to end up with a new account with the identity MRain... not sure how but I have no idea now how to access the account now. I am one and the same... just not sure what happened. Anyways, glad everyone like the pictures. The weather was pretty brutal that day by Houston standards. I ended up going with just a light sweater when I should've worn a jacket and gloves, the temp was 25 IIRC and a strong steady wind blowing. Was frozen by the time I got back to my car but well worth it. Tried to get some shots of the whole plane but kept running into security who frowned on me inching closer to an active taxiway. Hopefully it'll make another stop here and I'll remember to take the good camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
