Beautiful! Boeing factory demo pilot must be one of the coolest jobs in aviation.
With the 737 flying so close behind the 787, shouldn’t it suffer from wake turbulence quite a bit?

Really impressive, though I think the apparently almost vertical takeoff is done with a long lens to compress the scene depth.
