alexf Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 A friend alerted me the Boeing 787 would be in Ft. Lauderdale for three days for humidity testing. I don't know why they picked Lauderdale for humidity. The shot was tough. Too far away and many shots had pavement heat shimmering. They also had this NASA Drysden hurricane research plane. Also too far away with shimmering problems. This is the best I could do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolP Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 No, we call them cars Yes, you're right I think, J41 behind the 787. Sharp eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Manhart Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 The Dreamliner sure is a sexy looking tubeliner... maybe she'll actually fly someday. Great pictures considering the range Alex, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slandreth Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 They should have brought the 787 to Western Kentucky this summer. We had more than enough humidity and heat to go around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 No, we call them cars Yes, you're right I think, J41 behind the 787. Sharp eyes. Nope, they are SAAb 340's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 Two Saab 340's and three Avro 748/Ys-11's actually. Good Pics. You are correct. Plus a B787, and a jetBlue Airbus taxiing to the active. And a DC-8 on the other image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolP Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I would sue Saab, they let their aircraft look like the one in my hangar I just went for the looks of the nacelles and though about J41. Still learning on aircraft reconnaissance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slandreth Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 "Roger that! My Oregon Ducks found that out last Saturday" Oh it has cooled off now. It is only getting up to around 90 now. We had something like 45 days straight above 90 and most seemed to be above 100. Add to that high humidity and it was pretty warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Henare Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 The NASA research plane was in Melbourne earlier this year to photograph an event over the skies here, cant remember what is was, but the plane was parked at the John Holland apron (Ansett apron) A crazy looking machine with holes and windows and bumps all over it.
