Here's his awesome video, the view from Seat 5L:
• United's First 787-9 B...
As of the flight date, this was the only active 787-9 in the United States, which the pilot announces. Thanks to the amazing flight crew and staff, you supplied us with an awesome experience! It sure was a nice smooth ride up at FL430! United Airlines' Boeing 787-9 seats 252 passengers with a cabin configuration that features 48 flat bed BusinessFirst seats, 88 Economy Plus seats, and 116 Economy Class seats. This aircraft's first flight was on July 11, 2014 & delivered to United on September 16, 2014
This video is dedicated to my friend, John Stegemoller, who has the unique honor of flying these amazing aircraft.
General Electric did an amazing job with building their engines. The 747-8i and 787 are so similar, it's crazy. Genx is my favorite by far.
If you try to notice, the overhead panel is modeled after the 777-200 or 300 it doesn't matter, all the buttons are in the same place it just looks different
Nice flight, and I'm very impressed by the altitude -- I virtually never spot a commercial airliner flying this high (43,000 feet).
Thank you for sharing!
Thanks so much for checking it out! The crew had filed for 390, which we cruised at for about 14 minutes, but due to more favorable winds or for whatever reason, we bumped on up to 430.
RyanBomar That's kind of PITA for the pilots because one of us has to have the O2 mask on the entire time at that altitude, so we rarely go up that high. The service ceiling for the 787 is 43100'. That is determined by how quickly we can get from altitude down to 14,000" were lungs tend to work better in the case of a depressurization . The aircraft can fly higher than that but it would not be able to get down to 14,000 in the prescribed time.
Two thumbs up for this video, Mr. Bomar. I'm the first born son of Captain Harvey Beebe Jr,a retired 747 captain with Pan Am. Excellent work.
Really incredible HD imagery. Amazing in its clarity! Nice look at the cockpit, too! Well done!
It's always fun to watch these vids and contrast airports. LAX is just so impressive humming with a mulititude of carriers traversing the tarmac, while a backwater airport like IAH looks so deserted.
Excellent video, I am constantly amazed by just how quiet these engines really are. A beautiful day for flying.
Wow! Very cool! Was fascinated by the curvature of the wing contrasting to the straightness of the spoilers. 23:55
Thanks for checking the vid out! Yeah, that stood out for me as well.
Now THAT! is a proper flight video! that was absolutly enjoyable! Than you so very much for sharing> Video was Rockstar!! Bravo!!!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you dug it. I just put up a video on Sunday of a recent 787-8 flight from SFO-LAX, you may enjoy that one as well.
Making my way to it as we speak lol!!
"YOU REALLY TOOK ME ON A PERFECT VIEW AND FLIGHT ON UNITED AIRLINES FIRST 787-9 "DREAMLINER". I HAD THE BEST SEAT ON THE AIRCRAFT. AMAZING! THANKS.
Growing up in Houstkn is part of the reason, but I love flying United. Great route map and I get to fly to Venezuela nonstop to see my family. Well served route map no doubt
I enjoyed the video, and I always love how the rain and condensation clears completely off the the aircraft just as it takes off, thanks for posting.
Fantastic video! It's rare to find trip reports as high quality as this one
Awesome GREAT camera work! The 787 is amazing thanks for sharing!!
AMAZING video. Thank you!
I hope planes like this will mark the return of American airliners to the playing field.
Thank you, sir! This is one amazing aircraft, that is for sure. Airbus & Boeing both make great products, I'm looking forward to an A350 flight someday as well.
The 787 is incredible and it's amazing at how quiet it is. I haven't flown on it yet but I'll have to do that in the near future, not many airlines use the 787 to fly in and out Phoenix. :(
the aircraft is so quiet especially on the landing where reverse thrust was applied
Nice video! I flew United's 787-8 a few months ago. The breakfast in business/first was interesting. That is what the breakfast looked like in coach back in the 1970s.
Pretty rough landing for the new bird! Exceptional climb and departure pattern out of LAX!! Thanks for posting this video 👍🏼🛩
I Love The Close-up Of The Queen Mary! Great Job !!
16:14 Love those engine sounds on takeoff 😀
amazing clip and plane so smooth and complete
I love the sound of those engines spooling up for takeoff...
Great video ! Thanks for shooting it so well !!
Beautiful job Ryan, I hope there were some spotters photographing that first takeoff
Thank you!
Same here, I'll be watching. We were climbing like a beast though, it would be more of a belly shot :)
Is that Willie from duck dynasty chillin a couple seats over from ya?
Sure was, him & Jep sat nearby.
BOEING on the fuselage, that's all you need to know. Beautiful airplane.
Great video can't wait to fly on Thomson Dreamliner from Gatwick to Cancun, what an awesome aircraft!
Great trip report! Love that engine view
Excellent video!!! You're very lucky to have visited the flight deck, it's impressive!
Sweet video, and very quiet engines.
Beautiful plane and awesome
video, thanks. ..
Amazing work capturing the front of the aircraft and getting to talk to the pilots, big thanks for sharing and for your hard work. Huge Super Like!!!
Great video!! Very clear. Love the closeups of the engine.
Super quiet engines. Very nice.
Thanks for posting this! This August I get to fly on a 787 (NRT-HEL with Japan Airlines) for the first time this August. It's something I'm quite excited about. It'll definitely be an improvement on the A340's I've gotten used to (not that they're bad planes, but lacking in comfort compared to newer models).
Wow.
This is the future of the aviation.
That's the exact aircraft I saw at KDFW the other day. She's a beauty. I wish I could go inside :( N38950
Nice video,great footage,the Dreamliner is a great aircraft,,I flew to Orlando in 2014 on a 787-8.
That plane sounds much quieter than airbus. I would love to be able to fly on that jet. Thanks for sharing
THIS VIDEO IS AWESOME and The camera is incredible good
I've always thought about doing this trip to say I've rode the 789, but looks like she's busy hustling between LAX & MEL now! Great video.
Thanks so much for watching, bro! When the familiarization flights were occurring, I simply had to jump on it. The low ticket cost, simple same-day return trip and all, every sign pointed straight to 'yes'. I'm so glad I did it, I wasn't sure how much subscribers would appreciate it, as opposed to my classic content, which is usually what's preferred on my channel, but I'm simply blown away by the response.
RyanBomar How much does this type of low-cost ticket cost? Curious to know.
Great vid! Nicely shot.
Love the HUD...so cool
What a beautiful cockpit!!!
It really is, it's a very advanced flight deck.
Hello Ryan - I am an electronic music producer from the Netherlands and I applied this video to my track called "36,000 feet". It's totally non-commercial - just for fun - and I have no idea if it will get any views. But it was fun making it. Very nice video! I think it goes well with the ambient track and I hope I did not offend you. ;) Cheers from Holland! Paul.
Spectacular!! Awesome video, thanks.
That Wing Flex Tho *.*
Great Vid dude!
Nice 'welcome' greeting at the start of the safety video -- in different languages (English, Japanese, Italian) the last of which was Filipino "Mabuhay!" Pretty unique. Pretty cool.
Going to be on this flight going to LAX, flying business 1st, looks like a great plane.
I recently flew on Air New Zealands 787-9 from New Zealand to Australia. Beautiful aircraft!!! I really enjoyed the flight. Enjoyed your trip report too :-) Thanks for sharing :-)
Man, that's awesome! The ANZ Business Premiere layout looks absolutely amazing, not to mention the paint scheme!
Thanks so much for watching.
Yes the entire layout is really nice! I flew Premium Economy and it was really comfy and the aircraft is quite quiet. I love the latest Air NZ paint schemes. All of the black painted aircraft look so amazing :-)
Love the plane and this awesome video.
So quiet!! Love it
Awesome video!! I really enjoyed it!
I can't wait to see United's inaugural flight from San Francisco to Singapore! It will be a world first of non-stop flights from the US to Singapore... at least at this moment :P
wowow! loved the engine view on take off !
What a great day, amazing experience I'm glad I was able to share it with you!
Dude, what a day! Thanks again for going.
Although, the 3 hour CRJ ride was the best! :)
RyanBomar
Oh that was the best!
Very cool vid! The look at the flight deck is neat!
If you or anyone gets to see the flight deck on the new Bombardier C-Series, its pretty neat looking, a bit of a departure from what most flight decks look like, including the 787.
Thanks for watching & for the comment! I'll have to check that out, sounds awesome.
RyanBomar Hey, you make'em, I'll watch'em! Hopefully the C-Series makes it to launch customers in the coming years, its still in testing and certification. Its a beautiful ship, pretty advanced design. I hadn't had the chance to see a full interior, "demonstrator" plane, just experimental ships. The big geared-fan Pratts sound wonderful being throttled, they make a very whale-like howling sound! Flying overhead they are the quietest jet I've ever heard! Theres some really good pics in google images and including the flight deck mock-up and interior.
Amazing video, loved it well done!
Thank you so much! It's a truly awesome aircraft.
NICE! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching! I'm glad you dug it.
This plane is so aerodynamic, spoilers were deployed for most of the descent during a recent flight on it. Only complaint is that she's built with non-unionized labor.
Great video Ryan!
Thank you, sir! See you soon.
Awesome Video.
I like the polarized window "shades".
Those engines are beautiful!
Takeoff starts at et 15:25 on LAX Runway 25R and Approach/Landing sequence to IAH Runway 08R begins at et 25:30 .
I love the new 787 dreamliners
Awesome video! So jealous of you! I hope to get on a 787-9 one day.
Thanks so much for watching! No hurry, they'll be around for many years.
I'm looking forward to the 787-10 now :)
Hey I love your videos buddy. I finally found my favorite RUclips channel.
Keep up the good work.
Excellant clip! Thanks for sharing. Those engines are incredibly quiet aren't they
To be honest,i dont like the silentness.i like to hear the rolls royce engines
Just Ben
Brit bias.
That was really an interesting video.
Got the Rolls Royce engines beat in the quiet test.
Cool to be able to see the engine start at around 6:10...
Gotta love the 787.
nice video thanks for sharing. exactly 2 weeks from today I will be on two 787-8 flights on UA and NH from Denver to Tokyo and Tokyo to Singapore..i look forward to both flights in business class as well. Denver to Tokyo is 12hr flight.
Because I wanted to experience my first stop over in Singapore and explore the island. It's my first time staying there plus the round trip in business class on United flight including codeshare was very cheap at 3400.00 CAD plus I upgraded to first class for the return flight SIN-NRT-ORD on United flight.
Pretty cool video. wish you could of got a view of the airplane from the terminal.
That's funny you caught Mets747 in there
The outer rims of the landing wheels could have small angular fins to get them started rotating before touch down.
This is really an awesome video !!
Nice take off , climb , descend and landing
Beautiful view and clear !!
subscribe lol
I like this part at 18:10. It looks really cool.
Excelente Jato Ótimo Vídeo Parabéns amigo...
Nice video. Flew the 787-8 LHR-DXB-BWN-MEL with RBA and back in July and it was great. Not sure about those windows - nice to be able to see out even at full shade, but when the sun is on them it's like sitting next to a radiator. I think the extra cabin pressure makes a difference though - although I was tired, I didn't have that drained/wrung out feeling I normally have after such a long journey. The mood lighting might make a difference if the cabin crew had a clue what they were doing with it - which they clearly didn't (on this aircraft or any other I've flown inc. A380/777 etc.) It's comical to watch - the sequence starts off Ok, then it's as though they can't be bothered to wait for it to finish, so you get a rainbow of colours in short succession then they go to max dim or max brighness, turning any effort on the part of the designers into a pointless, hilarious waste of money. In this vid the spoilers seem to be partially deployed (23:35)- can anyone knowledgeable why they would be used at this height and speed - beginning of descent?
I like the engine sound at 16:19
:) great video
i love this fighterjet thing at 3.03
it looks sooo futuristic :D
HotPete
It's called a heads-up display (HUD).
The First Flight of United's 787 was from IAH Houston - ORD Chicago (connecting the the two main hubs of Continental and United
This is the 787-9.... Not the 787-8.
Nice one! Lovely view of that engine though
@LuWeiHuang, to the best of my knowledge, United chose the GEnx engines for its 787 fleet.
Great vid
That flight deck is absolutely amazing! Hoping this is the norm when I "hopefully" get flying in a few years! :) I'd have no qualms about flying that everyday.
It's taken me a while to adapt from the "steam gauge" days of aircraft like the DC-9 & 727, for example...yes...I'm old, haha. Those have always been the 'real' cockpits to me. Although, I must say, aircraft like this have sort of helped shift my view on it a bit. Especially with use of the HUD, which comes in so handy on approaches with horrible weather. This aircraft is the future, and I must say, it's impressive.
RyanBomar Only issue with steam gauges is that they were ugly as sin. Granted, it was nice knowing that the displays were always there no matter what. With the high tech displays some things like important EICAS, ND, and FMS information are often hidden unless you hit a soft key to see that display. Guess it makes it less crammed and visually appealing.
That's pretty nice dude!! I live in Houston it's a great city
Is that Willie Robertson from duck dynasty at 3:28?
Yep, his brother Jep sat near us as well.
One nice view of Long Beach at 21:40.
Cant wait for the 777x
Didnt know the 787 did such short range flights as LA to Houston?!...awesome video though; training to be an AMT at the moment and cannot wait to get a chance to work on this beauty.
BlakeOneOne82, this was basically a crew familiarization run that occurred when UAL first received their 789's. Due to the cheap ticket price and short route, I had to jump on it. Thanks so much for watching, and I know you'll kick some ass in your career.
Awesome video! Talk about massive engines! I wonder how comfortable economy class is on this plane?
Thanks for watching & for the comment! I had a friend in coach, he said that the comfort level wasn't any different than flying on a 767, for example, so they're pretty standard seats. As far as BusinessFirst goes, all I can say is wow! After breakfast and what seems like a dozen...I mean a few Bailey's :) I reclined to the flat-bed position and knocked out until descent. Keep in mind, this is coming from a guy that can't sleep on flights.
When the engine starts does it vibrate the plane like the 777-300ER's do? Whenever I take EVA air's 777-300ER to and from Los Angeles, my brain gets numb from the powerful GE engines starting.
10:11 i thought the tail wing of the 737 was the winglet of the 787. I was really confused lol
omg haha
I did too! lol
Ryan Veyr yeah
God, I love p60.
As for the 787s, best airliner in the world. Along with the A380s, of course.
excellent
Very jealous of this experience
This aircraft is well worth the cost of the ticket, trust me, but as I have said to others, she will be around for many years to enjoy. No rush. When you end up doing your flight, which you totally should in the future, link me to it or send me the pics or video on Facebook.
RyanBomar That will be many years in the future. My house is the money pit and the wife's travel plans may not accommodate a 787 route. Some day though...
