    I like you included both pilots in this. So many forget there was two pilots flying that airplane that day. Only one gets all the credit.

    You are correct. Was registered in Nov/13 on the Cdn. registry. The owner lives 30mins north of me. Great plane, lucky guy.

    I heard that when the 787 made marketing stops in Chile during this time frame some VERY smart experimental aircraft owners there noticed the placard. So they waited until the 787 left the country and filed a formal complaint that their "FAA" equivalent had authorized an EXPERIMENTAL aircraft to fly within their airspace even though they could not get authorization to fly their own experimental aircraft. With much "egg" on their face, their "FAA" backtracked and now Experimental aircraft are authorized to fly within Chilean airspace. A smart and savvy move if you ask me.
