Nice shots! Too bad the sky wasn’t in the mood to cooperate. \

I hope the teething troubles Boeing is having with the 787 sort themselves out. It promises to be one terrific aircraft.

Wow, wouldn't that be awsome if the cockpit area was painted like a cobra's
head!

Perhaps simpler, a set of shark teeth?

Is that Boeing's chase plane, or a Rent-a-Plane?

Seriously, nice work, Bob.. Thanks!

=D I see the front end of the 787 and think 'DH Comet'...

That is Boeing's T-33 (actually a Canadair Silver Star), one of two
operated by the Boeing Test folks. They also have a T-38. Looks like
they've updated the T-33 paint scheme since I last saw it, used to be
a straight red stripe; now has the Boeing swoop thing going on.
Perhaps their paint shop should knock a martini or two off the lunch
break. =}

Seriously, nice work, Bob.. Thanks!

Thank you.
