Inaugural United Airlines 787-9 flight in video

by Seth Miller 8 years ago8 years ago

I was fortunate to be on the inaugural United Airlines 787-9 Dreamliner flight working for Airways Magazine to document the event. I wrote up a trip report over on their site and expect a similar version to run in the print version of the magazine eventually. But I also put together a quick video of the flight, mostly a timelapse of takeoff and landing, but with a quick scan of the BusinessFirst cabin as well.

Plus it gives me a chance to share this photo, which I think is my favorite from the day.

The United Airlines 787-9 just prior to its inaugural departure — I love this shot of the nose wheel on the mark prior to flight.

I really do enjoy watching the wing flex in flight, both in real life and on the video. Looking forward to my next Dreamliner flight in November.

  For the music? It is a free one I found online: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Possimiste/~/The_Flight_Of_Lulu.
  
  I like it and use it on a number of the timelapse videos I create.
