Dream Flight

A demonstration flight was organised by Boeing with a small handful of invited media delegates onboard. Boeing had also invited a select group of VIPs to an exclusive event on the rooftop of the Marina Bay Sands … and at about 1830hrs, ZA003 made a total of three passes over the sea. The first pass was a little high but the second and third passes took place at an altitude of just below 2100 feet. It sure was a thrill onboard the Dreamliner as the tight airspace allowed for the circuit meant that steep banking turns were necessary and one could feel the forces of gravity at work – not necessarily in the direction that one normally expects. This was my “Kodak Aviation Moment” – a thrill that I don’t think I can expect to exceed anytime soon. Thank you Boeing, for the invitation to fly on the Dreamliner!
