Can't wait to see one of those beasts.

A week ago the wife and I were out at the airport listening to the usual Friday night pilot and control tower chatter.

Next thing we hear something along the lines of "Air Canada 007 training request permission to fly through airspace, runway 32".

We were thinking they'd be using one of the smaller planes they have....nope. Got to watch a Boeing 777 do "touch and go" passes for 45 minutes, then they went back to Montreal for some more "touch and go", then they came back here again for a few more.

Pretty amazing to see that something that large can be so maneuverable.

If it ain't Boeing, I ain't going.

Hope they kick some Airbus booty with the new Dreamliner. Now if they can just get their high subsonic transport going again...
