Midwest 717-2BL N907ME (55171/5121)
Rotating from Rwy 30 at Long Beach (LGB) the aircraft departs on a pre-delivery test flight out over the Pacific Ocean in an area known as "Shotz" which is roughly between San Clemente Island and the Mexican border. The area is controlled by the U.S. Military and provides Douglas (Boeing) aircraft a safe and traffic free inviroment to operate in.

Looking aft, we get a very nice look at the 88 passenger, all leather seating. Hand rails on the bottom of the overhead bins makes it easy to walk the the isles, even in moderate turbulance conditions.
