Have not been following the first 787 flights, they flew it down to VCV for testing?

I'll most likely be there in a couple weeks as well. Knowing our luck you'll be showering while I'm taking a dump next to Bernie Mac.

That sounds deliciously inappropriate. :D

Yeah, they moved the third test plane down there to do the ground effects and other sorts of testing. Usually VCV is where they do the low flying stuff because they are out of the arrival and departure paths for SoCal TRACON and can make lots of noise and not bother anyone except the snakes and other assorted desert creatures.

I know a guy who had a brother working for Boeing as a test engineer on the 767; they did the brake tests at VCV wherein they would land the plane and simply lock up the brakes, causing them to catch fire. The plane had to burn for ten minutes without getting into the cabin for the 767 to be certified. :-:

I was under the impression that true lambic can only be brewed in and around Brussels. Were you referring to one of those horrendous fruit-infused things?

Don't know the reference but I would be surprised if that were to happen unless you were wearing wings and carrying a harp.
