Victorville, California 11th August 2010: While assigned to their project concerning the oversight heavy maintenance representation of their client 747-400, elements of the 94th AeroClaims-Aviation Consultant Group (94th ACG) were exposed to the presence of Boeing 787's flight test program, which was closely observed and monitored. Seizing on a tremendous opportunity to liaise with both flight test aircrew and engineers, elements of the (94th ACG) received a worth of general-unrestricted information concerning both the aircraft and the flight test syllabus while being deployed to Victorville, California.
This sort of familiarization "FAM" of the Boeing 787 and its flight testing gave the (94th ACG) a special prospective on the evolution toward certification of an new commercial airliner.
Its should be noted that this marks the second time that a representative of the (94th ACG) has had the professional industry pleasure of experiencing a Boeing product undergo initial certification, as its Founder & CEO Benny F Benitez back in the early 1990's was presented when Boeing 777 ship # WA004 in United Airlines colors was undergoing flight testing in Tucson, Arizona.
