>>> who says pilots shouldn't have fun now and then it? sure looks like boeing test pilots did. when they were taking their new 787 dreamliner on a long distance shakedown cruise , our friends at the website "flight aware" alerted us to this. the boeing pilots flew a 19-hour nonstop mission. with the help of faa controllers, they flew over the country in a way that spelled out 787 and drew the booing logo over an eight-state area. well done, boeing test pilots . that's why they call it a dreamliner. anybody can just fly across the country.
