Boeing 787 Dreamliner coming to SCLA(VCV)/old George AFB in CA?

Anyone know if the 787 in Victorville will be flying tomorrow 3/10?  I may be able to get out there for that. 

Or if they will fly on weekends?   No way I can make it out there on a weekday before it gets dark.

Those sound like good spots.  I'll check those out when I go there next.  If I get chased, I'll find another spot.  Where were those photos shot from?

The parking lot on the side of the SCLA office. Go into the airport on Phantom West, and make a left on Cargo lane until you get to the fence. The people at the office seemed pretty nice, I would say hello and let them know what you're doing.  You're either going to need a ladder to clear the fence, or wait for a vehicle to go through the gate and shoot while it's open. We tried, even with my press credentials, couldn't get onto the tarmac.

I'll check that area out when I can get down there as well.  My car is tall.  It's a 1999 Ford Explorer.  I can just climb on top of that.  Is the fence too tall for that to work?

Should work. Definitely worth taking a ride around the airport and checking out everything that's parked out there. I wish the Nordic Leisure DC-9 was in a better spot to get a shot of.

I'll be sure to swing over to the airport next time I'm in the area.  I just wonder if security will yell at me.

No one yelled at us.

That's good to know.  I've been there before, but only driving by it.  Thanks for the advice!
