Title: Boeing Having Some Fun
Post by: njee20 on August 03, 2017, 04:12:05 PM
Presumably trying to make long distance trials in a 787 more fun - zoom out on the track to see what they've been up to today

Aah. I didn't realise they had drawn an aircraft - there was so much clutter overlaying it by the time I'd zoomed out that I could only see bits.

Cool.

Yeah I was finding it difficult to get a decent view of it! Pretty cool. Like the accuracy with which they've done it!
