Not quite... From FlightBlogger:


UPDATE 7:35 AM ET: Last night's Braxton Hicks engine "start" had all the ingredients of the real thing. Though the last step, engine ignition, is being held for early this morning in Everett. ZA001's engines were spun up for the first time with fuel flowing to the engine, several sources tell FlightBlogger. The test bore a strong resemblance to engine start, minus the tell-tale cloud of white smoke that would be seen when the storage oil is burnt off.

UPDATE 11:12 AM ET: A bit more clarity now on last night's test. The engine spins are referred to as a 'wet motor' test. Essentially, the engine is spin to make sure all the hardware is running smoothly while pumping fuel through the line ensuring that there are no leaks.

Thanks for the shoe tips.

Did you see my post from last night? Rockport shoes come in half sizes...

Should we start calling your airline "Delta", or would that infringe on Concierge Mike's trademark.

Okay, I need to find the name of the CO pilot who just did the walk around of the 73G parked outside of the Presidents Club here in Hotlanta. Quite a stunning brunette! ^^
