Another stunning 787 display in preparation for the Paris air show

This is a choreographed video of the show Boeing is planning for the 2015 Paris air show next week. This is performed at Grant County air field in Moses Lake, WA, where Boeing does most of it's commercial aircraft testing outside of Paine field. I wish I knew about these ahead of time, I'd take the day off to see this as it's only about 4 hours away from me.

I fly United regularly and the have a nice fleet of 787's. Very pretty aircraft and super-enjoyable to fly in.


Cool video, thanks.

Dammit! If I had known I would have gotten a load up there.

How is that filmed,in particular the part where it's starting it's take off run and we see it from over head? Chase plane or helicopter or something else?

OMG! That is incredible! What a graceful beast!

a reply to: Zaphod58

Yeah, I know right? I'll bet they keep that practice flight on the down low to avoid all the looky lou's getting a peak at the display too far before the show.

Vietnam Airline's insurance company might have had an issue with that.

I was hoping for the barrel roll also!

It's only a 1G maneuver.

They need to cut some slack.

Has to be some fancy drone to keep up with all those manoeuvres?

There are several aviation photography companies that use helicopters and modified camera aircraft. Some were filmed from aircraft some from helicopter.

What's annoying is we're delivering in Oregon today.

Wolfe Air doesn't use drones. All the shots in the video are using their helicopter and combination of other conventional aircraft with gimbal camera mounts.

Air craft used

a reply to: Sammamishman

Very few use them, and those are usually for static shots or the early part of takeoff. They can't keep up to get the air to air shots.
