BOEING 701 Experimental (737-MAX7)
Best image I could get while out at DET last Wednesday. They kept the landing gear down during all the low approaches. They didn't raise the gear until they departed back to Gary IN at 12:23pm.



Same photo as above but cropped. Not bad for a cellphone picture.

Did anyone see or heard comm’s from a C-17 this afternoon? Seen what I thought was a C-17 heading north I was in Sterling Heights on Schoenherr Rd south of 16 Mile. My Wife also seen it fly over our home in Washington flying very low. Then turned to the east and my Wife lost sight of it because of a tree line.
