  1. Video: takeoff of 787-9 Dreamliner out of the Boeing Portland Paint Hangar with new Lufthansa livery. I previously posted video of this plane arriving in LOT Polish Airlines livery on May 20. This is line number LN1046 flying as BOE751, departing for Moses Lake, Washington #KMWH on a test flight. But what wasn't on my bingo card is after MWH it's coming back to PDX. #aviation #business #travel #avgeek #PNW

  3. Spotted at PDX today: Boeing 737 MAX10 prototype #2 N27752 flying as Boeing 102 did a touch&go on Runway 28R at Portland International Airport #KPDX. Boeing test pilots flew it out of Boeing Field #KBFI. They also did touch&gos at Seattle-Tacoma #KSEA and Moses Lake #KMWH before coming to PDX. This is only the 2nd time I've seen a MAX10 in flight, first at PDX (previously at PAE in 2023.) FAA certification of the MAX10 is expected later in 2026. #B3XM #aviation #travel #avgeek #PNW

  5. Here's a flight track with a hint about #Boeing 777-9 flight testing progress. In order to be "approved for flight into known icing" the Boeing test pilots have to hunt for known icing🥶❄ conditions and fly in it for hours. They flew from a flight test base in Moses Lake WA #KMWH to Minnesota last Tuesday, and returned to MWH. Minnesotans probably don't usually expect anyone to go there for the weather this time of year. 😀 flightaware.com/live/flight/N7 #B779 #aviation #business #travel #avgeek

  8. The pre-delivery Boeing 787-9 (in Shanghai Airlines livery) departed Portland #KPDX today as Boeing 906 to Moses Lake #KMWH. But it did a missed approach and "diverted" to Everett #KPAE. I put it in quotes because Boeing test pilots usually fly to Eastern Washington State for test maneuvers. It was likely what they planned to do, putting a new aircraft through its paces before handing it off to line pilots at the customer airline. flightaware.com/live/flight/BO #aviation #business #travel #avgeek #PNW

  10. I have to correct an assumption I made when a Boeing-owned 787-9 arrived at Portland #KPDX on Aug 4 (with RAT deployed by the Boeing test pilots as part of checking out its systems). It was evidently not in Portland for paint. The Boeing Portland Paint Hangar also does maintenance. It flew out today still wearing Shanghai Airlines livery, returning to Everett #KPAE via Moses Lake #KMWH. This looks like preparing a plane from storage for customer delivery. #aviation #business #travel #avgeek #PNW

  12. An unpainted green Boeing 737 MAX8 flew by today on its way to the Boeing Portland Paint Hangar. I got pictures from home as it flew by about a mile away on final approach to Portland #KPDX Runway 28L. The pre-painted rudder indicates this one may be for Arajet of the Dominican Republic. Since it flew in from Moses Lake, Washington #KMWH, it was likely coming from storage, not the factory. (Orders may change for stored planes.) #UnpaintedAirplane #PicklePlane #aviation #avgeek #PNW

  15. "AeroTEC joins forces with Pratt & Whitney to test hybrid-electric plane in Moses Lake" by GeekWire / @alanboyle - A new effort to develop a commercially-viable hybrid electric airliner was announced by Pratt & Whitney and AeroTEC. Battery charging on ground will augment Jet-A fuel powered generator to run electric motors with anticipated 30% fuel efficiency gain. Modification and flight testing will be at Moses Lake, Washington #KMWH. geekwire.com/2025/aerotec-prat #aviation #avgeek #business #PNW
