A real 747 with a flight crew having thousands of hours in 747s taking 300 or more souls in a non-stop 8 hour flight to St. Petersburg, Russia.
Think about that. Real pilots have an interest in seeing this pass too. This isn't a hot dog stand. These are some of our bravest people willing to fly with passengers and cargo to our Polkovo airport.
And all we're waiting for is a 15 second mini test. Nothing wrong with the plane which would be much more alarming if we were waiting on something having to do with the planes function. But the avionics and instruments obviously passed the test. It's just a 15 second mini with a stupid slide...that we won't have to use anyways.
