The captain has definitely turned on the fasten seat belts sign.

Boeing pilots took a 787-9 Dreamliner on a dizzying test run ahead of their performance at the 2015 Paris Air Show.

The plane company posted video of the routine — which includes a nearly vertical takeoff and stomach-churning mid-air twists — on its YouTube account Thursday.

The expert Boeing team will reprise the performance when the air show kicks off Monday.

The new 787-9 Dreamliner can carry 280 passengers and boasts larger window and more cabin stowage than other models, according to Boeing’s website. It has the power to fly longer distances and uses 20 percent less fuel, too.
