From what Ken said, it doesn't seem like they are leaving anytime soon.

here is the news release on Boeing's website.

Says they will be there for 3 weeks doing ground effect testing.  Basically flying the 787 really close to the ground...now that would be something cool to see!

That's awesome. I'm sure Jim, Brian and Michael will be up there shooting the heck out of it, since it's their regular neck of the woods.


Too bad it's not in house colors though.

Didn't know about it till Keith mentioned it today. Looks like I'll have to see what I can get.

Great shots Ken!  Thumb Up

Beautiful shots!!  I so wish I could see it.  My stupid job is keeping me home.  I probably wont be down that way for another month.  I hate my stupid job.  I'm totally willing to make a special 2 hour trip down there, but my husband wont hear of it.  He's paranoid of letting me go anywhere out of town on my own.  Sad  Where is the best place to park and stand?  I know of a couple spots, but I'm just wondering if there are better ones.  There's a dirt road around the outside perimeter of the airport and a good spot to catch landings from the 395.  Any photogs who go there may need a four wheel drive to not get stuck on that dirt road with the rain storms and everything.  I hope I can at least get some shots of the new 747 at Palmdale.  What's the eta of the 747?

At the Southwest corner of the airport, there is a huge new Dr. Pepper/Snapple facility, and around it, they've graded the pads and roads for a huge business park. Great spot to catch anything leaving R17. Not sure if you're going to get chased out of there, but there is one pad that's built very high up and you can clear the fence without a ladder.

Those sound like good spots.  I'll check those out when I go there next.  If I get chased, I'll find another spot.  Where were those photos shot from?

Anyone know if the 787 in Victorville will be flying tomorrow 3/10?  I may be able to get out there for that.
