Just come out to St. Johns Newfoundland if you want extreme wx andxwinds. Alot cheaper on fuel too!

Good video, altho missing that money shot looking straight down the runway to really see the crosswind.

Exactly.This airplane will not fly in Japan,except test flight.

I don't know that ANA intended to introduce this airplane at first.

But this airplane is heavier than catalog for test repair.And there are a lot of patching.

[Transfusions]

Interesting... But why do they needed to use ANA's aircraft not the Boeing's one for the crosswind test? Are they gonna use this plane for Stall test and maneuverability test as well?

[dperforpi]

@Transfusions

This is not a ANA's aircraft.The Boeing painted this airplane for first customer ANA.

So,This airplane is a Boeing's test airplane.(Just colored by ANA design）

[Transfusions]

@dperforpi　I Know that. I'm a Japanese. I am a nervous guy and I just wanted a brand new airplane not after Boeing's stressful test against the plane.

[Transfusions]

@dperforpi wait maybe I got you wrong. You mean this is the Boeing Airplane and not going to be ANA's ,

Is that what you mean? Are they gonna dare to do that respecting for first customer? (u know Painting cost a lot)

Great work Team Boeing, can't wait to enjoy my first airline flight on a 787.

I hope the OBIGGS system on this is more reliable. (On-board Inert Gas Generating System)
