You've seen all the other big Boeings do it, now here's the first video I've seen of the Dreamliner in crosswind tests at Keflavik...LOVE those wings!

Thanks for the link Chuck! Nice footage there - interesting that there isn't a lot of flap on the back of the wing.

Wings prolly designed for high lift at low speeds so alot of flap prolly isnt needed. Reminds me of the A340 and A330 series aircraft. That dont have alot of flaps like the 777 and 767.

The 787 is so much better looking than that A380

At this point, just about any plane looks better than the A380

I assumed (wrongly?) that the flight testing before the planes were put into service was done by the manufacturer.
Was this plane delivered to ANA already? Or is it just painted in their colors before delivery? Who did the actual flying, Boeing employees or ANA's?
The wings on the 787 are COOL looking. When I saw the 787 here in Vegas a few weeks ago, the wings are what caught my eye.
The wings are unique looking. They remind me of a birds wings from certain angles.

If im right, i think the 787's Launch costumer is ANA and likely, that very plane would go to ANA after flight testings is complete. Flight testing's done by Boeing pilots id imagine before certification's given.
