although, i bet piloting it would be amazing!

Sorry to bust your bubble but that video was not real. That looks like a Microsoft flight sim. The computer animation looks great but there is no way an aircraft of that size can move like that.

My bubble is fine......I don't know if it's real or not....sure looked cool to me. I am not a pilot so I'll leave it to the experts to decide.......still think it's a fun video!

Most of the aerobatics aren't untypical maneuvers...except for the low altitude. However, the takeoff and steep climb was pretty amazing! I'm surprised the aircraft didn't stall.

Pretty impressive. But that 787 has a way to go to match the 707 prototype that one of the test pilots barrel rolled in the 1950s over Paine Field in Seattle.
