(ANA) All Nippon 787 Dreamliner Delivery KBFI - RJAA - AS129 - Michael - 08-11-2011

Had the unique opportunity to grab and fly the first bid for All Nippon's Boeing 787 Dreamliner delivery flight from Boeing Field (KBFI) to Tokyo Narita (RJAA) yesterday. Have some screens from the flight for everyone. Big thanks to Norm Edwards for responding quickly to my request for this bid flight and for getting the Dreamliner into the database.

My flight sim set up is a HP Pavilion Elite m9960f w/ a quad core AMD Phenom CPU @ 2.9 GHz per core, 8 GB RAM, 1.5 TB HDD, and a nVidia GeForce 9800GT graphics card running Windows Vista Ultimate. I fly using FS9, Ultimate Traffic, and Saitek Yoke, Rudder Pedals and Multi Panel.

Screens:

On the ramp at Boeing Field, final preps and fueling. VIP's are on board via the air stairs.

Glad you enjoyed the flight Michael. I think the next initial dreamliner launch customer delivery will be to Air New Zealand with the B787-9! Another looong flight!
