Boeing posts a video of the 787-10 on ground and flight tests
Los Angeles - Boeing posted a video of the 787-10's recent flight and ground tests, the largest model in the Dreamliner family. In particular, low and high-speed take-off tests were conducted at the Edwards US Air Force base in California and aerodynamic flight tests a few feet above the ground, one of the most exciting for pilots.

Beautiful airplane!
both their test planes came through the old Mather AFB (Sacramento) last week... Boeing uses Mather for test flights but don't know why. They come through after 2/3 or so of their test program...come and go for a few days then move on to somewhere else...fun to watch and photograph all 737 MAX and 788 models over last few years
Maybe because there is generally a decent crosswind at Mather and a 10,000 ft runway?
maybe so... seems like they go through the same routine when here
Watching the first takeoff it looked like they almost had a tail strike. I have a feeling that the -10 will have a pretty high landing speed to avoid tail strikes.
