1. First test of world's longest (almost 20 hours, 16,200km) non-stop flight to take-off Friday. (First flight is New York to Sydney. I'm guessing departure airport to be JFK.)
2. A/C: brand-new 787-9.
3. Operator: Qantas
4. Test of passengers as well as aircraft. Medical personnel to research physical and emotional impact of such a long flight.
Thoughts (mine):
1. Maybe a successful test will wash some of the mud off of Boeing's nose.
2. I'm a good traveler,...
