Another 77W in SYD.... BIG grin from me!!
This would be a nice way to get to Europe instead of the usual stop in Asia or Middle East. But that's a damn early arrival into Sydney from Reunion (ie: that's a bummer for us spotters!)

Whats the range of a 773 these days? Seems to be about 4900 Nautical Miles.. anyone for a refuel??

RUN-SYD is 4,989nm
SYD-LAX is 6,507nm
77W range at Max Payload is ~4,900nm

So if VA can fly their 77Ws to LAX, then UU shouldn't have any problem getting to SYD. You would have to assume that their flights wouldn't be fully booked, so that'd mean a saving in Passenger Payload, therefore allowing even more for cargo.
