A true moment in aviation history when the Boeing KC-46A Pegasus N461FT Experimental aircraft departs Paine Field for its first flight on December 28, 2014. Look at how proud the Boeing employees who built this aircraft line the berm at the Future of Flight to see their creation come to life! The Boeing KC-46A is based off the 767-200 and will be the replacement to the aging KC-10 and KC-135 fleet. As you see the aircraft upclose youll notice theres no boom which will be installed at a later date and operated by computer screen rather than glass.

Rather than finishing up at KPAE, the experimental aircraft finished up at KBFI Boeing Field where itll further continue testing. Filmed: December 28, 2014 KPAE Paine Field & KBFI Boeing Field.
