Boeing has been making its mark over the United States by flying a peculiar flight path. During a 787 test flight on Thursday evening, they were able to form the plane's number and Boeing's logo all the way from Washington to Iowa.

The upper right tip of the numeral seven is Spokane.

Flight Blogger, Jon Ostrower, noticed the flight pattern while in Houston.

I'm sitting at gate C34 at Houston Intercontinental Airport waiting for my flight to DCA and was tipped to 787 ZA236's flight plan (BOE236) for its systems functionality and reliability tests today. The aircraft is in the last stages of flying certification flights for the 787 airframe pairing with the General Electric GEnx-1B engine. Today's flight path, like the creative skywriting we've seen before from the 747-8, traces 787 and The Boeing Company logo from Washington State to Iowa.

What's a Poet Laureate? They're poets appointed by the government to write for state occasions. We have one nationally, recently appointed Philip Levine. The New York Times highlighted him last August describing him as the "voice of the workingman". 

Locally in the state of Washington, we now have Kathleen Flenniken. Humanities Washington announced today she's the newly appointed Poet Laureate by Governor Chris Gregoire and the Washington State Arts Commission

This is the first Poet Laureate we've had since 2009. Samuel Green held the previous two-year position, but it was eliminated in 2009 due to a budget shortfall. During that time, the position carried a stipend of $10,000 according to The Library of Congress.

Spokane Valley Police are looking for the man caught on surveillance camera. They believe he may be the suspect to a recent burglary at East Valley School District's maintenance office, located on the 18000 block of East Euclid Rd.

The Sheriff's Office says the incident happened between the hours of 12:40 and 12:52 a.m. on January 27th. Two individuals gained illegal entry to the school's fenced off area and stolen about $300 worth of tools.
