Holy smokes that was impressive.

Very impressive....I wonder where the person got all that Boeing footage.

n57flyguy · « **Reply #3 on:** December 18, 2005, 13:08:18 UTC »

I was amazed when my friend sent it to me. I don't know where he got it though and don't know who filmed it. But that takes some skill to do that, especially in a 777.

A380-800 · « **Reply #4 on:** December 21, 2005, 12:45:36 UTC »

veryy impressive....thanks for sharing!!

Here you see the pilot skills!!!

No problem! glad I can share it!

I fly 777 has to be auto-land if not I tip my hat to the pilot good job. Who wants to be a test pilot on commercial aircraft not me for one no eject, I like all the bugs out no dramas.

Thanks for the video post

n57flyguy · « **Reply #7 on:** December 22, 2005, 14:56:22 UTC »

Thanks for the reply nick8682 . I wish I was in your positon! Thanks though but I think a test pilot would be fun.

A380-800 · « **Reply #8 on:** December 23, 2005, 07:04:47 UTC »

It would be al lot of fun. You also get all the glamour like with the A380.
The whole world could see the test pilots.

But beining a pilot is always fun, weither your test or commercial

A380-800!!!!!!!

n57flyguy · « **Reply #9 on:** December 23, 2005, 15:40:24 UTC »

of course it would be alot of fun. Plenty of glamour. I would think emergencys and odd sicuations prove who a pilot really is. Glad you all are enjoying!

That was seriously amazing!

mattkbdl · « **Reply #11 on:** December 24, 2005, 01:32:41 UTC »

Wow that was incredible!

Tomato · « **Reply #12 on:** December 30, 2005, 03:11:05 UTC »

That video reminded me of some video game. I mean, how often do you see a plan come in at such an angle and then land... even with auto-land, can it really do that well, with wind speed, direction, and heading correction upon touchdown??

Very cool, thanks!

n57flyguy · « **Reply #13 on:** January 03, 2006, 23:16:09 UTC »

No problem guys and still glad to see your all enjoying!

Houghton11 · « **Reply #14 on:** January 04, 2006, 00:51:22 UTC »

Interesting to see the 747 SP - they only made I think 4 of those for Quantas.

marcoleon · « **Reply #15 on:** January 04, 2006, 15:41:10 UTC »

The paint schemes for these aircraft are indicative of an airframe still under testing or certification. Most probably they were determining crosswind limits for the airframe or autopilot.

Impressive nonetheless.

Hey N57, does your name stand for New Garden airport?

n57flyguy · « **Reply #16 on:** January 04, 2006, 23:15:32 UTC »

Yes I proudly am part of N57! But yes the paint does indicate it was a in testing. And it was interesting how the 747 SP was in there, ive seen a few of them at Boeing Field years back.

Check Airman · « **Reply #17 on:** January 08, 2006, 05:31:38 UTC »

Which airfield is that? Seems like a desert. Does anyone know the ICAO code?

n57flyguy · « **Reply #18 on:** January 09, 2006, 14:31:56 UTC »

I was wondering the same thing, maybe in the Middle East someware, but I really don't know. I'll try to find out for you if I can.

n57flyguy · « **Reply #19 on:** January 16, 2006, 13:04:24 UTC »

I found out some tests were down at Andrews AFB in the desert, but I am still not exacly sure.

Check Airman · « **Reply #21 on:** January 18, 2006, 23:40:44 UTC »

The code is 07MT

n57flyguy · « **Reply #22 on:** January 19, 2006, 16:13:15 UTC »

How did you find that one? I found that the newer 777s were tested at Edwards AFB, not Andrews, But thanks for that.

Jolly009 · « **Reply #23 on:** January 19, 2006, 18:30:49 UTC »

O.K. Here are my Guesses as to the landing Strip....

Edwards AIr Force Base, California (High Desert, with plenty of Winds to shuffle about in Fall Winter, along Hwy 58.

Mojave International Airport (But I do not see any of the sitting duck planes, 'the grave yard') Mojave, California also High Desert Back Sloap of the mountains with plenty of winds along Hwy 58 as well...

And the one no one thought of......

Moses Lake Washington...KMWH...This is only a hop-skip-and a jump from BFI (Boeing Field) in a Flight. JAL trains there 747 pilots there. a Ton of Touch and Go's.... Everyone thinks Washington state as Green, well in Eastern WA, it is Desert, just like you see in the video...Just another airport to ponder....

A380-800 I know this will cause a lot of 'debate' but coming from Washington state (Boeing) I just want to add this little comment (and no offense to you, or airbus..it is amazing the sucker actually got off the ground.) "Do you see Boeing Test Pilots with Parachutes on during their tests, Like the Aircrew of the A380 had on during their maiden flight?"

Just friendly banter

I doubt the Feds would let Boeing test the 777 out of Andrews, as that's in Maryland, and where the current Air Force 1 and Air Force 2 are housed.

Edwards is possible, but 07MT in Glasgow is definitely it. Have a look at the info for it from Airnav:

http://www.airnav.com/airport/07MT

Boeing uses this field quite a bit.
