Boeing 787 visits Philadelphia

"Boeing 787 Heavy Experimental" paid a surprise visit to Philadelphia Int'l on Tuesday, allowing 700 lucky employees of the Boeing plant in Ridley Park(where Chinooks and Ospreys are manufactured among other things) to see one of their employer's hottest products up close. Unfortunately it was not visiting a launch customer, but US could certainly use this jet on the routes to Asia it has recently been discussing wanting to develop.

As always it was a pleasure photographing this beautiful aircraft. Best I could do from my vantage point.
