How can you mistake an A330 for a 777? I mean that's like comparing a schoolbus to a Porsche. With kind regards, Bogdan Misko.
October 18, 201213 yr Commercial Member Fixed it for ya lol Well played...well played...haha. Sacrilege! How can you mistake an A330 for a 777? I mean that's like comparing a schoolbus to a Porsche. You'd think...then again, here's your standard bystander ID Guide: Big? Boeing Small? Regional jet Small prop? Scary (sometimes people will call them Beechcraft) Smaller jet? Learjet (yet they all know what a Gulfstream looks like on the ground - thanks rap stars!) Small prop? Cessna I think I've trained my friends into reading the safety cards to let me know what they flew, so most of them are pretty good now. Kyle Rodgers

October 18, 201213 yr Here is the AvHerald report, which includes a nice comment from the 777 captain. http://t.co/05n9xNHH Marty Becker PPL - Instrument Rating
October 19, 201213 yr Editor (or whatever they're called): How many engines are on a 777? Person in room: Two! How many in the picture you have? Editor: Two! K. We're good! That is so true!!! At least they got the size of the plane roughly correct on CNN, down here in Oz, they showed a short clip of an E-175 to accompany the story. I almost laughed, especially as the news reader said "air canada 777" just as they showed the clip.
