I don't know anything about flight deliveries. But, including a set of basic flight maneuvers makes sense to me. In which case they would be maneuvering anyway and they decided to go out in style. Big salutes to them who set it up.



You can tell nobody from Nascar was involved as there are both left AND right turns.


Fun fact: not all nascar tracks are left turn only.


Yeah when you race them backwards they're right turn only.


By the time the plane is delivered, it has already been fully flight tested.


Yeah, you don't want to find the problems on the delivery flight.


Better then than on the first passenger filled flight. Don't think of it as the delivery flight. Think of it is final test flight


This is a cargo plane, though, I don't think a passenger 747 has been built in a while.
