Pilots on a Boeing aircraft spent their test flight drawing a giant outline of the Dreamliner plane they were flying.
The test flight lasted 18 hours and the shape of the 787-8 plane spanned across 22 states, according to FlightRadar24.
The air traffic tracking service invited people to track the plane's journey live on its Twitter page. The purpose of the Extended Operations test was to see if the Rolls Royce engine could safely run for an extended period of time.
