Remember the Boeing video released last week of the extreme take-off of a Vietnam Airlines 787-9?

Today, Boeing offers us a different view, or views, including one from inside the cockpit.

Note the cool and calm of the pilot in command as he guides the Dreamliner in a near vertical take-off.

Wonder how the crew feels about that spacious flight deck, which was assembled by Spirit AeroSystems in Wichita?
