Re: BA to Start London Heathrow to Charleston, SC

I cannot wait! Spotting a BA 787 is something I'm really looking forward to!!

BMW, Volvo, Mercedes, are just a handful of big name European corporations that are here in Charleston or very close. It just won't be a leisure route I can tell you that.

Re: 787 Production/Delivery Thread - 2018

Test frame 787-10 BOE002 is heading back to CHS from FTW after being there for a month. Still pinging N565ZC from the transponders. Due into CHS at 8pm local - I wonder if our roving reporter Mr. Cass may be able to catch a glimpse of it and update us on the paint scheme status? :crossfingers: If i...

Air Tahiti Nui's F-OMUA is currently on its B1 flight out of CHS. Cass has done us proud again : https://twitter.com/cassidysvacay/status/1046172685326327810 Also a very nice pic of Shanghai's 2nd 787 frame B-1112 a bit further down his twitter feed thingy. Great work Cass, your efforts there are a...

Re: 787 Production/Delivery Thread - 2018

It's great that you're posting pics again Cass. Appreciated here and by everyone else for sure, even the white half painted ones. You should post up your Shanghai from yesterday too. Please keep up the good work at CHS! :thumbsup: Thanks for such kind words Rob! It makes me happy everyone is enjoyi...

United's soon to be 787-10 arrived back in Charleston this evening. I wish the Sun was cooperating with me.

Re: 787 Production/Delivery Thread - 2018

5199453 All of the 787's are coming back to CHS. Appears only one did so far. No need to rush this time. Most of the planes were already back so I was actually a little late with the news. I believe the only Airplane that hadn't come back yet was United's X. I'd say there actually is a rush to get ...

Re: Potential impacts of Hurricane Florence on East Coast ops

Surprised this thread has not remained popular. Update on Boeing at CHS??? The Charleston International just officially announced that it has reopened. In Charleston there were no significant rains, winds, or tidal surge. Everything is normal and official reports are saying only around 200 people l...

Re: 787 Production/Delivery Thread - 2018

There was extra room in both paint hangars (I know) and a little room in final assembly (I think).

Re: Potential impacts of Hurricane Florence on East Coast ops

CHS is still open. Flying 6 aircraft across the country makes the most sense. Those 6 aircraft make up about $1 billion dollars of assets. Parking them anywhere else other than another Boeing facility doesn't make much sense especially since they are still owned by Boeing and not the respective airl...

78J N14001 Evacuation ferry CHSPAE BOE37... First time showing on FlightAware. All previous test fights didn’t show by registration, just by flight #. I usually don't post trash pics like the one below but it's news worthy. This is N14001 departing CHS this afternoon ahead of Florence's arrival. Th...

Re: 787 Production/Delivery Thread - 2018

United 787X N14001 evacuating CHS from today. The flightline here is nearly empty now.

Re: Hurricane Florence & Boeing Plant in CHS?

Here's United's 787X N14001 evacuating CHS from earlier today. The flightline is nearly empty. I've recognized all of the pilots voices on ATC so I don't think they have been contracting outside sources for pilots. Could be wrong though. The Airforce is in the process of evacuating all of their C17'...

Re: Potential impacts of Hurricane Florence on East Coast ops

United's 787X evacuating along with all other flightworthy aircraft. Not much left on the flightline.

Re: Hurricane Florence & Boeing Plant in CHS?

Im one of the only local photographers here, check my bio. I was just at the airport and heard ATC ask one of the Boeing pilots what their plans were. BOE pilot said they are trying to get as many 787s out asap. Efforts to move the planes out started just after sunset here. Flightaware shows Boeing ...

Re: CHS 787 Spotting

Nice work - thanks for posting! I've been to Charleston a few times, and have looked to spot at CHS, but haven't really found any decent locations. Any suggestions you can offer? I'll be in town for a couple of days around July 4. Sorry for the late reply but spotting here is awful. The reason I've...

Re: Potential impacts of Hurricane Florence on East Coast ops

I've had to take a back seat from photographing the 787 operations at Boeing South Carolina. They really hate photographers. Been stopped too many times. But I'd like your opinions of what Boeing might do with the aircraft that are flight worthy. Would they fly them out? What about the aircraft that...

Re: Will Boeing build its new mid-market aircraft in Washington?

Boeing Charleston has just purchased even more land around their existing site. Even their Twitter banner pic shows plans for future expansion. What that means for the 797 and other hypothetical frames I can't comment on. Local article going into details about land acquisitions. https://www.postandc...

Re: More New 787 Rejections

Hi Cassidy, This one is not so bad for a new plane. But i have to agree with what the screener commented to you. Using smaller size would be better like 1280Px/1200Px. :D Is 1600 that large of a size with my Nikon D500? I used to use 5D3 and 100-400 II to take some pics and edit. For me, the size o...
