says:I was very lucky and was aboard (and a fair amount of time in the jump seat) the B777 prototype N7771 when it gave a demo. flight out of MEL on 09/12/95, as I worked for ANSETT flight dept. at that time.
Still a magnificent aeroplane, and have had many flights in them ever since, the series 200 and 300.
David Fix
says:I think the 777 is the best aircraft ever built.
