It was definitely a good day to stay indoors! But, that didn't stop me! While many folks don't bother with these poor conditions, I find a certain level of enjoyment being out in the elements and seeing these beautiful aircraft operate in all sorts of conditions! Nothing extreme here... just some fog and rain. But still exciting! You'll see on the first approach, the aircraft has all the landing gear doors down. This is from them testing the emergency landing gear extension system. It just unlocks the doors, allowing them to fall open from gravity. They then do a missed approach and come back for a full stop landing, following the completion of another pre-delivery test flight. Bonus clip is a 767 tanker (KC-46) heading to Boeing Field in Seattle, where its flight test program is based.
