Mine will be:CX104 from Melbourne, Australia to HOng Kong, China in the old Cathay Pacific livery. Date will be before July 1998 (hehe, you guess why).I've flown this route as a pax many times, about once a year. Taking off in sunny Melborune and land at night into Kai tak. What more could i ask for?;)TONY

But from many videos (and as far as I know) delivery of new aircraft is done from Boeing field.

I'm currently in the 737-700 at KDTW. Route is KRIC-KDTW-KPAE. Once at PAE I'll wait for the 744, fly to Boeing Field for a couple of days of practicing starts, systems, take-offs, landings, and flight planning. Once I'm comfortable with everything, I'll head off to KIAD before making my way to EGLL. My first flight will NOT be a long one in a new plane...last thing I want to do is fly 6+ hours and crash on landing...hence my very short first flight, then hours and hours of practice at Boeing Field.Matthttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/747400.jpg

Some taxying to learn how to avoid ending up in the grass when turning on tight taxiways (eheheh) then some circuits: touch and gos, missed approaches, some low altitude handling. Then some full ILS approahces, some cat III autolands...When I'm satisfied with my skills, I'll fly a short hop to master the plane en route (KDEN to KSFO, United). Then...longer trips...
