Once upon a time, in another age, airlines would let kids tour the cockpit, sit in a jump seat during cruise and take in the show from up front. No longer, of course, not in this era of hyper-security.
About the closet you can get to the experience nowadays is the virtual view. Boeing’s just come out with a spectacular follow-on to its wildly-popular video (over ten million views in a single week) of a 787-9 practicing for the Paris Air Show.
The 787-9 is a 20-foot stretch of the 787-8. Boeing says customers the world over have ordered 509 787-9s. That amounts to some 46 percent of all 787 orders.
This new Boeing video allows you to choose different views, internal and external, of the 787-9 performing maneuvers never seen in typical flight.
If you’re looking for the best way to get the full experience use your laptop or desktop computer. Mobile device functionality may be limited.
