Boeing 747-8 Completes FAA Certification

In a bit of a publicity stunt, Boeing decided to use the final series of tests to do a bit of advertising.  Focus of the tests was apparently the Flight Management System as well as general system functionality and reliability.  Ever seen a jumbo-jet used as a skywriter?  Hope you guys were having fun!
