It just finished getting built in the past month or two. They were probably collecting some video/pictures of it flying to use for some promo stuff.

It's a chase plane. 777F is on flight test right now so it's not for promo. RedHotLama wrote in post #6027158 Also Seafair is this weekend and it will likely make a couple passes each day. Ain't going to happen.

They used the same chase plane when they brought over the first LCF. One of the seats had a big old video camera in it. So maybe the video is just to look for problems. rssmps wrote in post #6027208 Ain't going to happen. And it could happen as the flew the 777-200LR or 300er at Seafair a couple years ago.

As far as I know, there is no tests planned....so unless they are taking it without testers, it just won't happen.

Does it need to have some flight test crew on board to fly? There need not be any testers on board but at least testers on ground montoring and recording data especially on a new plane like this.
