KEFLAVIK — The title of the post really covers it. ZA002 is in the right place at the right time with the winds here at Keflavik Airport in Iceland sustained at 27kts and gusting to 39kts out of the east-southeast. Boeing’s second 787 test aircraft has been flying since about 7am here and the morning block of crosswind testing is continuing right now with about seven or eight takeoffs and landings so far to runway 20. ZA002 chief pilot Randy Neville has been at the controls for many of this mornings maneuvers in blustery Keflavik. More from Iceland later.
