B777-200LRF 1st flight ***photos***
 

Hi guys,
Today marked the 1st day of flight testing for the newest Boeing product, the 777 Frieghter.
I've uploaded some rough Jpeg edits so you can get an feel for what to expect. She had some minor test issues today and diverted back to PAE rather than continuing onto BFI. Nothing serious and the flight time was 3.5hrs.

Thanks guys.
Tim, That's why I moved here. If I couldn't get close I'd be photographing DJ 737's at SYD from behind the fenceline. I'd rather be shooting this ;)
Scott.

Too right mate;) And you get all the newies of all airlines over the world pretty much so you'll never know what your going to see. I bet your logbook of airlines youve seen(if you have one) is chockers.

It seems that there was an "inconvenient" telemetry issue with the flight.

Two interesting facts from the above story...

Boeing have 78 orders for the aircraft..

and

The side loading door has been widened to accommodate carrying 787 engines.

Oh my database is an ongoing work of life. It consumes me.
