March 20, 201313 yr I don't think I would touch anything other than the Freighter variant so my first flight would most likely be YTO - DXB
March 20, 201313 yr I'll go small to start first. I'll start with an LR flight from Shannon to Glasgow, then F version will be Qatar, takeoff from Doha, touch and go it, then fly on to Dubai -ANDY GREENFlight Diary Account : http://flightdiary.net/SpeedBird7735 Hours experience in Grob 115, 30 minutes in Grob 102 10 Hours in Grob 109 PLUS SOLO! 23rd November 2013!
March 20, 201313 yr No long-haul flights for me—I am starting with EGKK–LSGG! C'mon party pooper, no need to baby that new 777 on such a short route :lol: How many gallons, I mean drops of fuel will it take to get to Geneva lol? Chris Sunseri
March 20, 201313 yr I am planning an around the World flight with a -200LR flying westward. If I could find the flight from KLIA to LHR that set the record I would try it. I've looked on flightaware but have not yet found it. Jhan M.

Shortest I'll do is a European/Asia 5/6 hour from OMDB. Or a LTBA turnaround or something. Probably do un ULR for my first official flight! OMDB - YSSY sounding good since I've never been that side of the world on the sim (-: - Luke Pabari
March 21, 201313 yr C'mon party pooper, no need to baby that new 777 on such a short route :lol: How many gallons, I mean drops of fuel will it take to get to Geneva lol? A regional aircraft that does 5-6 flights a day takes a lot more stress and abuse vs a long haul jet that does 1 or 2 flights a day at the most. My T7 will gain cycles very rapidly. Alex Jevdic KORD/KHOT/KPWKA<380 love at first flight
March 21, 201313 yr That's true Alex. I was just wanting to see Owen flex the 777 muscle a little, but I'm sure he will in time. My fleet will see some serious miles. I do plan to stay proficient on the MD-11 though as I hate to keep her parked. It's gonna be real interesting when the 744v2 comes out. Decisions, decisions on what to fly!!!! I may have to start drinking 5 hour energy drinks just to keep up :lol: Chris Sunseri
March 21, 201313 yr Owen could flex the 777 muscle a little with this flight. It was done by a 787 and it went over every state except Hawaii and Alaska, I imagine adding those two with -200LR would be possible.

March 23, 201313 yr C'mon party pooper, no need to baby that new 777 on such a short route Not just one short route: I will probably fly 3–5 short-haul flights in the time it takes you to fly one long-haul flight! More flights = more takeoffs and landings = more manual flight time = more enjoyment! :lol:
