Okay, so the above video is totally nuts. It features a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner showing off its aerial capabilities for prospective buyers. The only problem is that it’s only about a quarter as impressive as it should be because it has some simply AWFUL montage music underneath it. Seriously, it’s like an instrumental version of late-era Sting, or something off one of the Rusted Root albums that no one bought. (So any Rusted Root album.) Come on, people. You’ve got a frigging passenger jet essentially doing e-brake slides in midair. No “Kickstart My Heart?“ No ”DANGER ZONE?!?!?!” Shameful. Absolutely shameful.
Watch a Boeing jet airliner do amazing stunts set to terrible music
These plane stunts are impressive, but they needed a better backing track. So we gave them one.
