Just watched this. Fantastic. Thanks Rog. Hard to believe they can get it done in 5 weeks. I want a shot at that simulator!

And to think that - despite the complexity of that huge, powerful, safe aeroplane and it can all be flown on 3 basic instruments if necessary? Wonderful redundancy!!

Planning the design of all the component parts, requires forethought for future strip downs for servicing? Watching those huge flaps being lowered off the wing... and walking inside the main fuel tanks... incredible!

Hats off to Boeing.
