WTF......... :shock:

"Boeing's 19 hour test flight of the 787 Dreamliner was a great opportunity to test the limits of the 787, FlightAware's flight tracking, and the FAA's flight plan system"

In the above image, you can see the 787 Dreamliner's flight path, which was first reported by Gizmodo. The flight path was meticulously designed and coordinated with airports across the country in or to avoid violating restricted airspace.

if you follow the line, and we assume the plane followed the same exact line. At the top, the lines feed into the edge of the circle, and become the circle, making it one continuous line with no breaks.
