(October 2011) Shortly after retrieving credentials at the media counter, I glanced at my BlackBerry display. The time was 0830. Good deal. I had an hour of free time to wander around the nooks and crannies of EAA AirVenture before the scheduled arrival of the 787.
After concluding that I really didn’t need to agonize over a decision to purchase a wooden miniature of a 777 as an addition to my office dust-clutter collection, I began to walk toward the flight line. A whooshing sound caught my attention. A Boeing airplane with the identifiable blue and white logo whispered majestically above the runway. Its composite wings characteristically curved upward as it climbed after completing a low approach. Way cool. I smiled. Wouldn’t you know it?
