Drunk pilots  :noid

Seriously though what is going on there?

Well he just drew the "787", now he's drawing the Boeing logo.

What I don't understand is why are they spending so much money on something that very few people will ever see.

It's a 19 hour flight and he's spending something like $50/minute.

I believe they were testing for ETOPs, but it doesn't mean you have to fly around in a straight line.  Someone bored thought it up.

Your going to pay that much money so a few people can see your "awesomenes"? I think it's a lot more awesome to do a hammerhead on a small airplane then what they are doing on the 87.

*Awesomeness

Why not?  They have to test the plane out anyway.  They may as well have some fun while doing so.

As I said above I thought they were already done with all the testing.

I was thinking the same exact thing. I have never seen a flight plan with so many checkpoints.
