Boeing 787-9 Wows Britain's Farnborough Air Show

Boeing's huge, new 787-9 Dreamliner wowed the audience on Tuesday at Britain's Farnborough Air Show, soaring into the sky on take-off like a jet fighter.

The Dreamliner is "a magnificent airplane," an expert who has flown it said at the show, according Dominic Gales with the Seattle Times.

Most impressive during the demonstration flight, Gales wrote, was the touch-and-go maneuver by the Boeing test pilot.

He came in low and fast, bringing the Dreamliner's wheels to the runway for an instant as if to land, then powering up again and shooting the plane back into the sky at an amazing angle.
