Tex Johnson did it with a 707 that had a hell of a lot less power.

Now granted, he didn't try it under the Golden Gate Bridge, but that was 
probably because it wasn't available at the time.

A friend of mine is a KC-135 driver.  He tells me that the unloaded 
performance of that thing is INSANE.  The 777 has a LOT more power than a 
KC-135, so I can easily believe that its unloaded performance is pretty 
spritely.

Now if you're type rated in the 777, you're welcome to tell me to stuff 
it. :)

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical
minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd
by the clean end.
