This aircraft absolutely fascinates me! I've seen these 787's do an almost vertical take-off from the runway! Absolutely a beautiful machine. Someday I hope to take a flight on one of these amazing birds. Designed by computer, constructed of composites, this is truly a remarkable achievement.
Sad it will never fly again, saw this jet in Brisbane Australia and spoke with the pilot Heather, both very impressive. Looking forward to seeing it again in Seattle.
I wasn't able to attend :( But a friend of mine flew out to Seattle for a 3 day trip!!! The B787-8 Dreamliner is probably one of the best airplanes ever designed. After all the delays, it was worth it. Thank you Boeing. I hope to be able to pilot one someday when I fly for an airline. I'll be back out in Seattle some time soon.
Hope your dream comes true friend! I'm not a big fan of screaming kids, but listening to them for over an hour while waiting in line was still worth it to see this aircraft!
So is this the permanent parking location of this plane? Or is this just until they find a better spot? Either way, brilliant video as usual, so cool to see this bird close up! Now you know how I felt when AC brought their 787 to YYC ;)
Do you remember the bird wrapped in white plastic out front to the side? It'll be displayed next to that. Currently they're putting the final touches into the display and it'll open back up on the 22nd!
Great view of the innards of a state-of-the-art aircraft. My guess would be that this airframe has had a few too many G's pulled on it during the flight test and certification program and the FAA wouldn't allow it to be put into regular passenger service with an airline, cuz otherwise there are many millions of $'s sitting here on display.
***** There now are 3 MD-11's standing at AMS, but they all will be flown to the USA for Scrapping, for selling parts. I don't understand, because years ago KLM also gave a 747-300 to a Dutch Aviation Museum.
She's not inside the museum, she and other commercial jets are sheltered under a type of exposed hangar. I visited a couple of weeks ago and it was pretty chilly.

Very interesting. Maybe KLM could have done the same with the MD-11, but they don't.
Are they really going to scrap their last MD11??

+TheYottaTube where is that museum? I would love to go.
grahamboaviation Aviadrome, Pelikaanweg 50, 8218 PG, Lelystad, The Netherlands
she's INSIDE the museum now

The cockpit is always open like that ? Would not mind taking a seat XD
Unfortunately no. Now there is a sheet of plexiglass by the cockpit doors not allowing anyone to pass.
nice one 😃
they power this with its APU?....wow... how much does it cost daily.....
It should be flying, not superglued,
All I can see are subcontracts, subcontracts and more subcontracts. Other than that, looks nice on the outside I guess.
All ask trump to bye me a dreamliner
