Aug 12th, 2017: Boeing Selfie
It's common knowledge that birds can fly, bats can fly, insects can fly, people can not fly.
So it's simple logic anyone working in the industry is crazy. Well not all, some are just eccentric, or strange. Believe me, I worked with them for 25 years. Any new design must go through extensive testing to be certified by the government, and show the customers, the plane is safe. They were scheduled to do an 18 hour endurance flight with a 787 Dreamliner not yet equipped with in flight movies. The engineers were left to entertain themselves, so they did what engineers do, just with a $300 million crayon. Quote:

Makes a nice way to spice up those long government presentations as well, I bet. Little bit of positive marketing right there in the stats.

It shouldn't be there, Jim. Not part of their flight, might be an early morning flight of someone else when the grabbed that shot as morning traffic was picking up.

It's not fake news, it's just a little white line.

It doesn't answer my question above, but here is a link that shows four versions of the route without the diagonal white line.

The white line is where they walked back after the crash where they ran out of fuel.
