Oh man. An Eastern Airlines commercial with a Boeing 720, Boeing 727, DC-8 and L-188 Electra? Yes please. This commercial is from 1965 and has the tagline, “Eastern. An airline with a big day’s work to do.”

Boeing 787 Dreamliner ZA002 with ANA livery, flying over the Olympics
Yesterday the second Boeing 787 test plane, ZA002, made its second test flight back to where it was built. The flight was from Boeing Field (Located in South Seattle) to Paine Field (located in Everett, WA).
The flight was required since there was debris found in ZA002’s fuel tank after its first flight on December 22nd. Paine Field and it needed to fly back to Paine Field, which has the proper facilities.
VIDEO:
KING5 caught video of the Dreamliner taking off and the Future of Flight braved the rain, dark and wind to see the ANA liveried 787 land.
The issue is minor and it provided people up north to see the Boeing 787 fly once again (Unfortunately I was at another blog-related event). This incident is not changing the positive mood of Boeing executives. “The 787’s progress has exceeded my expectations for where I thought we’d be at this point,” Dennis O’Donoghue, who runs the company-wide aircraft testing unit, told Bloomberg. “I’m almost giddy.”
And I am giddy too. This means I will have an opportunity to see ZA002 take off from Paine Field when it heads back south again.

I first got to meet Liz (@ImperfectSense) at the Aviation Geekfest back in early December and since then she has done a wonderful job following the Boeing 787. I always look forward to her newest Dreamliner or Dreamlifter photos. This video captures ZA001 landing at Boeing Field yesterday with a very beautiful Mount Rainier in the background. Great work Liz!
Found this great video at Simpliflying.com which looks at airlines branding and technology. The video shows TAP personal dancing to different songs at the surprise to travelers and then goes back to normal work. The video was very successful with over 500,000 views to date.
Hopefully you never have to experience the safety slide deploying on an aircraft first hand. This video is from 1984 and shows a safety slide deploying from an American Airlines Boeing 747.
