Well, they ain't F-18's or anything but still pretty cool video. Okay Boeing, the gauntlet has been tossed down. When you gonna put some 787's through this scenario? Merry Christmas or whatever holiday you celebrate. I'm stickin' with Christmas.

That sort of promotional video can be done on a computer these days. I think that one was real but not a big deal.

Child's play for former military pilots (which most of them are).
The amazing thing was someone getting management approval to fly the op.

Meh.
Aerobatic passenger jets are old-hat for Boeing. They rolled the 707 during a low pass back in the 60s, just to prove they could. If not for corporate liability issues, they’d probably have no problem with rolling a 747 or 777, both of which are more impressive than those committee-designed EADS products.

That is some fine formation flying.
I love the sight of aircraft porn in the morning!

Not very close or difficult stuff. Certainly not “goosebump” material.
And they are producing this stuff on laptops running XP.

I bet my C-17 buddy would be very unimpressed.
