Subject: Re: [MBZ] B-36 With Tank Treads??, NOW 777
Back many moons ago I was going BOS-LHR on BA, got on a brand new 777
(was its 2nd flight). The FAs and pilots were all excited about it
and spent a lot of time pointing out the new features and performance
and such. I think the galleys were down below, there was an elevator
for going up and down. It even smelled new, like a new car. After
the fact I was thinking that flying a 2-engine plane trans-Atlantic
on its 2nd flight might have been a bit risky, but no problems befell
us so it was OK. At the time, the Scottish agricultural products
provided in copious quantities and varieties dampened any concern I
might have had.

I remember 18 years ago taking a ride on the new 777. The pilot was
proud to compare his new 777 with the familiar B-52. B-52 had 8
engines and the 777 had more engine power with 2 engines than the
B-52. He named several comparisons. Each seat had new-then, lcd
screen to watch shows - it was a spectacular ride on that aircraft,
and the price was right - $50RT promo with T-Day afternoon leave and
return on Saturday morning. Memorable for me and 2 sons.
