  • What is the chase plane?

  • It's a T-33 that Boeing used for aerial photography.

  • amazing footage... keep this footage in the safe! From an A&P mechanic and Boeing factory tech for the 737... I am uber excited!

    All of us at the Southwest hangar at KMDW were watching it in the break room. lol

    Thanks for capturing aviation history!

  • Thank you. I'm glad I was able to capture this moment.

  • @type2mike Ignorance is bliss.....

  • @blueinkbottle of course the wings won't snap off. You're not the engineer they are so relax.

  • What would happen when the wings have to take an additional burden of a few thousand kilograms with full load... will they snap off?.. if this flex is happening for an empty flight, how much will it flex for a full flight

  • Wing Flex looked rather dodgy, I think it was the wing area that was causing a lot of the delays with first flight

  • maybe there is very little kerozine on board, which makes the wings lighter than normal.

  • what I'm curious about is what the data showed for the wing flex. I noticed quite a bit of flex... nothing abnormal for composite, but it could spark skeptics to create some drama.
