Hi Peter,

Nice ,



At 1 min on the video

The way the wings bow -sweeping backward ......as the unfurled wings of Spirit of Ecstacy

How could anyone not like that .. I tell ya!

Hello Peter,

Wow! you sure that's not FSX

Fantastic filming.

That 787 has grown on me, the more i see it the better it looks.

Cheers,

Roger.

Not so many 'WOWs' from me.. I think they spoiled perfectly good footage by speeding bits up

I know.. there's always one

But, you did give it - some wow's..
so, that's like a positive, right?

[DaveB]

Actually.. I didn't give it any WOW's It would have been more interesting had bits of it not been sped up.. that's the long and short of it. Not a bad looking kite in the grand scale of things but it doesn't float my boat.. certainly not in the same way it would do Peter who, having been an airline pilot.. may have flown one had his years not been of a certain era I know he'd have liked that much power being available on the T3's he flew

Hi Dave,

I watched the video a few times but didn't notice anything like increased frame rates. ... maybe it's just the Rolls Royce engines > "kick in the pants power" ..

Most of my thoughts already posted: FSX look-a-like, graceful like a gliding swallow.
The pilots certainly chucked it around, pretty amazing for its size.
Thanks Peter.

Perhaps you're right Joe
