These are pics of the first flight for the P-8A. The plane took of from the Boeing factory in Renton, WA, flew for 3 1/2 hours and landed at Boeing Field in Seattle. The airports are about 5 miles apart as the crow flies.

Sweet. I love airplane stuff.
Since I'm sure someone else will ask, and I did too. "The P-8A Poseidon is a long-range anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft. It possesses an advanced mission system that ensures maximum interoperability in the future battle space. Capable of broad-area maritime, and littoral operations, the P-8A will influence how the U.S. Navy's maritime patrol and reconnaissance forces train, operate and deploy." More info here.

Ooooh, fun!
I don't think I will ever stop being amazed by planes. They are just the coolest things on the planet. Really. |

Interesting wingtip design. Looks like it was taken from the 787.

the website I looked up on it said it had a fuselage from a 737-800 and the wings from a 737-900.
