Eastern Airlines Boeing 727 at the Future of Flight.
This is a front section of an Eastern Airlines Boeing 727-200 located at the Future of Flight. There are two things not quite right with the photo (except half the plane missing). Can you tell what’s wrong?
Tomorrow I will give the answer and a nice little story how it was fixed.
UPDATE: This story has gotten more interesting than I thought. I will be posting the answer and story on Monday.
Notice the size difference of the Trent 1000 engine that is being used on the Boeing 787
Most of you were right on with the photo I posted yesterday. It is a Boeing 747-200 that was the test bed for Rolls Royce to test the Trent 1000 for certification taken at the Future of Flight in 2007. The odd part of the photo was engine #3 was a bit larger than the other three.
The aircraft was purchased by Rolls Royce from Cathay Pacific Airlines. The engine was being tested to be used on the Boeing 787.
One of my readers, Ian, found additional pictures of the aircraft in flight from Flight Global.

Trying to read airline news now, all I see is “terrorist”, “security”, and “TSA.” Trying to do something a little lighter.
This Boeing 747 is parked outside the Future of Flight in Everett, WA. Notice anything strange with the aircraft? Any idea who might own the aircraft?
The Strato Deck (all the people on the roof) is where I caught the Boeing 787 taxi tests and the Boeing 787 first flight.
So can you spot what is odd with this 747?
