Everyone seems very calm about the whole thing... They must be quite confident...

Minutes away now...  B)  ^_^

The chase plane is taking off, less than 3 minutes now...  ^_^

 

Apparently they fly it in direct law for the first flight?  :huh:  That doesn't sound fun at all...  :wacko:

Chase plane is swinging back around, takeoff imminent...

Staying up till 1:00AM just to see an A350 take off on a computer, that's when you know!  ^_^

Can't wait to get my seat in her. She looks so sleek and modern...  :wub:

Those air to air shots are amazing, they just did the roll testing. Wonder if the bogeys will tilt forward in the production models as well?

So beautiful aircraft, great to see it finally flying! Can't wait till Finnair gets these, I will make sure to get on board one of them as soon as possible.

This is the first Airbus I genuinely like the look/aesthetic of. Great looking airplane.

Looks like the same type rating has been confirmed and they seem pretty insistent on it...   ^_^

Such a graceful takeoff. Can't wait to see this plane flying in service.

 

Just showed some beautiful footage from the chase plane of the gear retraction.
