Flying on GE's Boeing 747 'Classic' flying testbed

I recently flew with General Electric’s flight test team based out of Victorville, Calif. Tests were focused on the GEnx-2B engine which will power the upcoming Boeing 747-8, first flight of which is currently expected in the late September-early October timeframe. (To hear more about the test program, we'll soon post a link to an interview with GE flight test director Al Krejmas.)
