November 11, 201114 yr I wanted to see how far I could stretch the NGX's legs. Took the 700WL on a trip from FTX's Bowerman KHQM to Memanbetsu, RJCM in northern Hokkaido Japan, Distance 3800nm with stiff headwind most of the way. Engines flamed with about .4 left on the fuel indicator while on descent, was able to glide in and land safely. For an airliner, she's not a bad glider lol,Looking foward to the 700ER, it will combine the best of both worlds of the NGX and the long haulers.CheersTJ "The knack of flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss." - Douglas Adams Tejon 'TJ' Stanley
November 11, 201114 yr Yeah, If we get the 700ER that would be terrific.Also looking forward to the 700-based BBJ for longer range flights.Not sure if you'd want to do a long range flight with an all coach class 700ER as a passenger. Dave P. Woycek
