Boeing has successfully proved to regulatory authorities that 787 handling qualities are similar to the 777's, marking a key milestone on the path to winning type commonality approval between the two models for crew qualification.
Boeing has rolled out the first 747-8F in the colors of launch airline Cargolux and, despite recent test delays, says delivery remains on track for the fourth quarter. The second flight-test aircraft (RC521) has resumed fuel burn tests following a delay caused by a ground collision with a parked tug. RC521 sustained damage to the No. 4 engine inlet and fan cowl while being towed at Victorville, Calif., on June 3.
Flight operations at Washington Reagan National Airport (DCA) were temporarily suspended this morning following a landing accident involving a Boeing Stearman biplane. The World War II-vintage trainer, one of eight flying in formation to Washington, D.C., to mark the premier of the Legends of Flight 3D IMAX film, flipped over on landing on Runway 01. The aircraft was the third of three in the first wave of Stearmans. The remaining aircraft landed without incident and operations resumed within 15 minutes, using Runway 33.
