Over the coastline


Thought we were going for RWY14 (which I wanted) but we soon turned back in and were heading for RWY32




Back over the coast


On finals for RWY32


Short finals


Landing on RWY32, touchdown was very smooth!




I didn’t get a video of the landing; but Josh got one with his gopro.

Exiting the runway, there were quite a few people out to see the first passenger 787 flight to OOL!


Passing the tower


Coming into the gate, I was quite surprised that we didn’t receive a water cannon salute! I know it wasn’t its first visit to OOL but it was the first passenger service for the JQ 787! Quite disappointed, never experienced one from inside an aircraft.


All the media exited the plane first so that they could get a video of everyone getting off. I stayed seated as I was hoping to get some interior shots with not so many people around. About 20 others stayed back. Brock said he was going to ask about going up to the flight deck. So Josh and myself stuck around too. Someone from the cabin crew asked the pilots and they said that was fine! I think the f/a was probably asked by about 10 others! Haha. About 15-20 other people stayed back to go up to the cockpit as well.

Some interior shots with fewer people around
